+/**
+ *  This interface allows to recycle buffers used for SSL decryption.
+ *  Buffers that are used for reading SSL encrypted data are typically
+ *  very short lived, as it is necessary to aggregate their content
+ *  before calling SSLEngine::unwrap.
+ *  Because both reading and copying happen in the SelectorManager
+ *  thread, then it makes it possible to pool these buffers and
+ *  recycle them for the next socket read, instead of simply
+ *  letting them be GC'ed. That also makes it possible to use
+ *  direct byte buffers, and avoid another layer of copying by
+ *  the SocketChannel implementation.
+ *
+ *  The HttpClientImpl has an implementation of this interface
+ *  that allows to reuse the same 3 direct buffers for reading
+ *  off SSL encrypted data from the socket.
+ *  The BufferSupplier::get method is called by SocketTube
+ *  (see SocketTube.SSLDirectBufferSource) and BufferSupplier::recycle
+ *  is called by SSLFlowDelegate.Reader.
