As original perpetrator of the sbufs, I'd like to chime in briefly.

I agree with Justin about being able to succesfully retreive an
overflowed sbuf.

I would even suggest that finish replaces the final characters in
an overflowed sbuf with "[...]" as a generic marker that overflow
happened.

I also agree with Dag-Erling that the API should be entirely function 
based.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
