// However, most Telnet packets tend to be small, and this means that
// it's philosophically possible to use the Small Buffer Optimization.
// std::vector<> is specified such that it's impossible to implement the
// SBO, whereas std::string has the SBO for most implementations.

// This may change in future to some other type, but it will always be
// something that models the basic standard Container concept.
