Obtaining the actual size of the underlying storage of the buffer can
be very useful in various scenarios. Long running programs which write
and read large amounts of data to buffers might have to recycle
buffers in order to avoid holding onto potentially huge buffers.
For example, a piece of code which buffers a lot of data in a buffer
might need to release the big buffer and start again with a smaller
buffer after it finished processing the huge amount of data.
In cases where pools of bytes.Buffer are used, being able to check the
size of the allocated data can be very useful.
Instead of forking bytes.Buffer or writing new code, we can export the
Cap() method.
