"buffer-like" means "like a buffer" which is wrong on two points: - "buffer" is not defined at this point, so the user doesn't understand what it means - we are not talking about an object which is "like a buffer", but which "provides a buffer"

"buffer-like" means "like a buffer" which is wrong on two points:
- "buffer" is not defined at this point, so the user doesn't understand
what it means
- we are not talking about an object which is "like a buffer", but which
"provides a buffer"
