Quick start
A usage example from the array-buffer-byte-length README.
const assert = require('assert');
const byteLength = require('array-buffer-byte-length');
assert.equal(byteLength([]), NaN, 'an array is not an ArrayBuffer, yields NaN');
assert.equal(byteLength(new ArrayBuffer(0)), 0, 'ArrayBuffer of byteLength 0, yields 0');array-buffer-byte-length vs the alternatives
