I'd say it's primarily the 80-column terminal limit that is the reasoning for this. I personally only go to 79 columns so that when I work on a terminal and I type that 80th line the insertion pointer doesn't wrap. Aside from that, on my current monitor (1152 pixels wide), I can get 2 CodeWar

A raw memory buffer is a good idea. I've rolled my own on a couple of occasions, but never tried to mimic the style of the STL. That approach opens up a couple issues: Since we don't know what's stored in the memory buffer (image/audio data, chars from an input stream, serialized structs, etc
