Both solutions are fine and I realize I'm a bit late to the party as you
posted the original patch almost 3 weeks ago, so I don't want to delay
it any longer.  I think it's just a matter of deciding whether to
enforce the buffer size limit using buffer_size or buffer_end.  As the
first option involves a little bit less writing, I thought I'd suggest
it.

Don't worry, I understood your intentions from the commit message, so I
don't think it's worth posting a v3 only to correct minor stylistic
errors.
