Description
This would have mitigated the effect of #186
Since Buffer already has an internal Vector{UInt8} it already does bounds checking, it is just not the correct bounds.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #186 and locating the Buffer implementation in TranscodingStreams.jl. Determine which bounds are currently checked by the internal Vector{UInt8} and which bounds are expected for Buffer operations. Done means the relevant bounds are enforced and regression coverage demonstrates that the effect described in #186 is mitigated.
