Description
We can use darray.h from Ruby to let us make a generic-like dynamically resizing array. This could be used not just for storing char like the current rbs_buffer_t, but also any other element type, anywhere where RBS needs dynamically growing arrays.

Research direction
Start by reading darray.h and locating the current rbs_buffer_t implementation in RBS. Trace where the buffer is used and determine how the proposed generic-like dynamically resizing array would support char and other element types. Done means RBS can use the shared array abstraction for dynamically growing storage beyond char elements.
