> Yes, I also thought about the names, my initial idea was to rename the current one to buffer or resourceBuffer and this new as data, but I wanted to keep the patch as simple as possible and buffer doesn't sound like a great name anyway. For now, I left both as data so that they can be renamed when refactoring. 

Please name it something else now.

"data()" is already such a truly terrible name, and overloading truly terrible names is even more truly terrible.
