Constant buffer sequence requirements

A constant buffer sequence represents a set of memory regions that may be used as input to an operation, such as the send operation of a socket.

A type X meets the ConstBufferSequence requirements if it satisfies the requirements of Destructible (C++Std [destructible]) and CopyConstructible (C++Std [copyconstructible]), as well as the additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, x denotes a (possibly const) value of type X, and u denotes an identifier.
