buffer :
A buffer for an xreal-typed signal.

The buffer primitive drives an xreal-typed output with an isolated, reduced-order version of an xreal-typed input. One usage is to manually partition a circuit network into clusters. The buffer primitive also tries to reduce the number of events propagated to the output while keeping the error within the tolerance.

The parameters abstol and reltol set the absolute and relative tolerances used for this event-filtering, respectively. The parameter scale defines the optional scale factor (default: 1.0) and the parameter init_value defines the optional initial value of the output at time=0. Also, the parameters Rin and Cin can optionally set the input resistance and capacitance (i.e. Zin(s) = Rin || (1/sCin)), respectively.
