Buffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be
created by calling the builtin function
\function{buffer()}.\bifuncindex{buffer}. They don't support
concatenation or repetition.
\function{buffer()}.\bifuncindex{buffer}. They support
concatenation and repetition, but the result is a new string object
rather than a new buffer object.

Xrange objects are similar to buffers in that there is no specific
syntax to create them, but they are created using the \function{xrange()}
function.\bifuncindex{xrange} They don't support slicing,
concatenation or repetition, and using \code{in}, \code{not in},
\function{min()} or \function{max()} on them is inefficient.
