MessageToByteHandler never shrinks its buffer (it should!) about swift-nio HOT 2 OPEN

I don't think we need to go that far. M2BH will always send the complete buffer on flush, so at that point we should consider whether the buffer is too big. That can probably be controlled by a setting on the M2BH, which is the max retained buffer size.

Hi, trying to take a look at this one 👍 . "M2BH should shrink the buffer just like B2MD does." This suggests that there is a solution in mind.

I have taken some time to look at the code, wondering if said solution is to copy the implementation for discardReadBytes but instead shrink the buffer "capacity" or "slice range" to the writeIndex after the context.write operation has been completed?

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks for your time 😄 .
