net.box with `buffer` option already skip a packet header, but
IPROTO_BODY is a singleton map with IPROTO_DATA_KEY as the key and data
itself as the value: {[48] = <data that I need>}.

I'm sorry that the description is confusing. It seems I should provide
more context here: give an example of iproto packet (say, result of a
box's select); then show a part that will be written to a buffer without
this option and with.
