The client's non-blocking receive from <code>freeList</code> obtains a
buffer if one is available; otherwise the client allocates
a fresh one.
The server's non-blocking send on freeList puts <code>b</code> back
The client attempts to retrieve a buffer from <code>freeList</code>;
if none is available, it allocates a fresh one.
The server's send to <code>freeList</code> puts <code>b</code> back
on the free list unless the list is full, in which case the
buffer is dropped on the floor to be reclaimed by
the garbage collector.
(The assignment of the send operation to the blank identifier
makes it non-blocking but ignores whether
the operation succeeded.)
(The <code>default</code> clauses in the <code>select</code>
statements execute when no other case is ready,
meaning that the <code>selects</code> never block.)
This implementation builds a leaky bucket free list
in just a few lines, relying on the buffered channel and
the garbage collector for bookkeeping.
