I was in need of something to make messages in Warcraft III pop out Type-writer style, and that would require a Buffer. And since I had some other things that needed to use a buffer (Like a Unit order queue and an AI-Action/Behavior system), I decided that I needed to make them run off of one Buffer system. Hence, I wrote this.
The reason I called it BufferEx is because Nestharus' Save/Load system uses a library called Buffer which can be found in the Small Code Snippets thread.
