func withContiguousStorageIfAvailable<R>(in range: Range<Int>? = nil, _ body: (UnsafeRawBufferPointer) throws -> sending R) rethrows -> sending R?Parameters

Discussion
This method calls body(buffer), where buffer is a pointer to the block buffers contiguous storage. If the contiguous storage doesn’t exist, the method doesn’t call body — it immediately returns nil.
