 e.g. for `Monster`, you can call:
 
 ```cpp
-	bool ok = VerifyMonsterBuffer(Verifier(buf, len));
+  Verifier verifier(buf, len);
+	bool ok = VerifyMonsterBuffer(verifier);
 ```
 
 if `ok` is true, the buffer is safe to read.
 
 Besides untrusted data, this function may be useful to call in debug

 While verifying a buffer isn't "free", it is typically faster than
 a full traversal (since any scalar data is not actually touched),
