Are you suggesting to shift burden of allocation/deallocation (static or dynamic)

at client/consumer side?

Thanks for pointing out. I definitely missed cleaning this up. Now, I will

remove this function in next RFC version as one line can be added directly

I do not understand this comment. The buffer definition is in scope of hte core

as it is the only entity that manages it.
