	)			[inline]

Create an empty Buffered data connection.

Parameters:

	size	The maximum capacity of the connnection's buffer
	initial_value	The initial value of all elements within the buffer. Use this parameter if the data uses dynamic memory or requires an initial state.
	type	The connection type: lock based or lock-free. The latter is highly advised.

Returns:

a new connection object
