`frontArray`, a version of `front` that returned a slice of the 
next n elements iff there was an internal buffer already in that 
form? That would work with arrays, static buffers (sockets), ring 
buffers... Not sure if you also needed a `popFrontArray`.

I think the standard approach right now is just to define a range 
over slices.
