instead of sending the buffer by value, one can send an owning pointer into the

+One can use a global memory allocator to achieve indirection (`alloc::Box`,
`alloc::Rc`, etc.), which requires using the nightly channel as of Rust v1.37.0,
or one can use a statically allocated memory pool like [`heapless::Pool`].

Here's an example where `heapless::Pool` is used to "box" buffers of 128 bytes.
