/** @class MeshBuffer
 * The sole purpose of a MeshBuffer is to hold storage space
 * for the results of an HTM inetersection and then allow multiple
 * MeshIterator's to walk through the result set.  The buffer space is allocated
 * when the MeshBuffer is created.  Mesh buffers will usually hang around for
 * the life of an HTMesh.  Each mesh buffer is re-usable.  Simply reset() it and
 * then fill it by append()'ing trixels.  A MeshIterator grabs the size() and
 * the buffer() so it can iterate over the results.
