Should the type be Uint8Array | Buffer?

DataViewis great for reading bytes of certain lengths from a byte array. One quirk of it is that if you're working with subarrays ofUint8Arrays, the originalArrayBufferstill refers to the fullUint8Array, so theDataViewwill operate on the entire byte array. To solve this I added a small convenience function, which always takes thebyteOffsetandbyteLengthof theUint8Arrayinto account.
