Actually I'd rather just have the app provide it, but recommendations
can be made in terms of using mostly sequential indexes. I suspect
that's what most would naturally do anyway.

I'm thinking just straight array of X entries, and then a fallback to
xarray if we go beyond that to ensure we don't grow the buffer group
array to crazy values.

I'll do this as a prep patch, not really related to the actual change
here, but will benefit both the classic and ring buffers alike.
