Research direction

Start by reading lib/resty/string.lua at the linked line and the surrounding buffer-handling code. The issue only asks whether max_buffer_reuse is a good idea, so first establish the intended behavior and scope with the maintainers. Done would require an agreed design and implementation criteria before coding can begin.
