 /**
-A buffer for storing data in GL memory.  Putting vertex and index data in
-buffers can improve rendering performance.  The VertexArray, Mesh and
-UniformBlock classes contain built-in support for buffers.
+Stores data in GPU memory.
+
+Memory must be allocated for the buffer by calling storage().  Contents can
+then be modified either synchronously with the data() and sub_data() functions,
+or asynchronously by memory-mapping the buffer.
+
+Buffers can have a static or streaming usage pattern.  Streaming buffers can be
+memory mapped for less update overhead, but memory space is more limited.  If
+the buffer is updated only rarely, static is recommended.
+
+Applications normally don't need to deal with Buffers directly.  They're
+managed by other classes such as Mesh and ProgramData.
