Can't create a TypedArray from a node buffer treating the buffer as bytes

The docs for Buffer indicate that you cannot create a typed array from a buffer and treat the buffer as a byte array. Native JS lets you do this.

The buffer methods like readFloatLE are pretty fast with assertion checking off (clocked about 10M ops/second), but I'm frequently reading tens of millions of values. Constant time would be lovely.

Fixed in versions that implement Buffer using Uint8array. Thanks.
