        the copy ctor and assignment operators change the passed in object  \
        even although it is declared as "const", so:                        \

        a) it shouldn't be really const                                     \
        b) you shouldn't use it afterwards (or know that it was reset)      \
                                                                            \
        This is very ugly but is unfortunately needed to make the normal use\
        of classname buffer objects possible and is very similar to what    \
        std::auto_ptr<> does (as if it were an excuse...)                   \
