<p>Buffers are similar to strings except they are mutable data structures. Strings
in Janet cannot be mutated after being created, whereas a buffer can be changed
after creation.  The syntax for a buffer is the same as that for a string or
long string, but the buffer must be prefixed with the <code class="mendoza-code">@</code> character.
