+
+/// A "history buffer", similar to a write-only ring buffer of fixed length.
+///
+/// This buffer keeps a fixed number of elements.  On write, the oldest element
+/// is overwritten. Thus, the buffer is useful to keep a history of values with
+/// some desired depth, and for example calculate a rolling average.
+///
+/// The buffer is always fully initialized; depending on the constructor, the
+/// initial value is either the default value for the element type or a supplied
+/// initial value. This simplifies the API and is mostly irrelevant for the
+/// intended use case.
+///
+/// # Examples
+/// ```
+/// use heapless::HistoryBuffer;
+/// use heapless::consts::*;
+///
+/// // Initialize a new buffer with 8 elements, all initially zero.
+/// let mut buf = HistoryBuffer::<_, U8>::new();
+///
+/// buf.write(3);
+/// buf.write(5);
+/// buf.extend(&[4, 4]);
+///
+/// // The most recent written element is a four.
+/// assert_eq!(buf.recent(), &4);
+///
+/// // To access all elements in an unspecified order, use `as_slice()`.
+/// for el in buf.as_slice() { println!("{:?}", el); }
+///
+/// // Now we can prepare an average of all values, which comes out to 2.
+/// let avg = buf.as_slice().iter().sum::<usize>() / buf.len();
+/// assert_eq!(avg, 2);
