This piece of code hasn't compiled since 2011 (cb4131e), and has
been functionally broken since 2010 (a0c0b73). 12ce7f1 instructs
to use buffextras alongside savebuff.
The old internal storage format was:
::__:SAVEBUFF:__::<buffer lines>
The new storage format for channels:
::__:CHANBUFF:__::<buffer name>
<buffer lines>
The new storage format for queries:
::__:QUERYBUFF:__::<buffer name>
<buffer lines>
See #802 for details why the storage format had to be changed. Reading
the old storage format is still supported so old saved buffers load as
appropriate.

Buflines need to know which part of text to wrap with the timestamp. The
second parameter to `AddLine` (and shorthands) is that text, which after
wrapping is added as the `text` parameter to `NamedFormat`.
Timestamps are formatted at the moment buffers are flushed to the
client. The client parameter to `GetLine` provides access to the User
and the new server-time capability.
This is in preparation of adding more attributes to a CBufLine. Going
forward, at least savebuf will need access to all of these to properly
serialize buffers.
Basically, instead of relying on `GetLine()` to return `false`, the
caller is now expected to check bounds himself using `Size()`.
