Well, it would appear so, however, do keep in mind that:
a. The get_addpos() positions implicitly give me a way to find out
   how much bytes are between position A and B.  So the length calculations
   I need are already there, whereas using a writable subbuffer like above
   doesn't give me those yet.
b. Using the writeable subbuffer is tricky at best, and cannot be considered
   lightweight anymore; get/set_addpos are practically for free.
