No. The inline buffer would be slower than either of the Get...Ptr functions. However, it is an optimized way of doing a conversion, as would be required when the Get...Ptr functions return NULL. It converts in chunks and preserves state between chunks so that conversion of the next chunk can resume without recomputing state. Also, it uses a fixed-size stack buffer, avoiding heap allocation.
