/* # message:
 * object that stores a message while it is being sent or received. Contains
 * the message payload itself, the message header, the extension data, and the
 * opcode.
 *
 * # connection_message_manager:
 * An object that manages all of the message_buffers associated with a given
 * connection. Implements the get_message_buffer(size) method that returns
 * a message buffer at least size bytes long.
 *
 * Message buffers are reference counted with shared ownership semantics. Once
 * requested from the manager the requester and it's associated downstream code
 * may keep a pointer to the message indefinitely at a cost of extra resource
 * usage. Once the reference count drops to the point where the manager is the
 * only reference the messages is recycled using whatever method is implemented
 * in the manager.
 *
 * # endpoint_message_manager:
 * An object that manages connection_message_managers. Implements the
 * get_message_manager() method. This is used once by each connection to
 * request the message manager that they are supposed to use to manage message
 * buffers for their own use.
 *
 * TYPES OF CONNECTION_MESSAGE_MANAGERS
 * - allocate a message with the exact size every time one is requested
 * - maintain a pool of pre-allocated messages and return one when needed.
 *   Recycle previously used messages back into the pool
 *
 * TYPES OF ENDPOINT_MESSAGE_MANAGERS
 *  - allocate a new connection manager for each connection. Message pools
 *    become connection specific. This increases memory usage but improves
 *    concurrency.
 *  - allocate a single connection manager and share a pointer to it with all
 *    connections created by this endpoint. The message pool will be shared
 *    among all connections, improving memory usage and performance at the cost
 *    of reduced concurrency
