Uint8Array - is it really an array? And what about the other Uint#Arrays?

ArrayBufferViews aren't ever really arrays (I don't believe they are in normal JS either). It looks like Function.apply should still take them though - I've just filed a bug for that.

I'm sure there was a nice way to get from an ArrayBufferView to an array, but I can't remember it right now! (there's a way to go the other way)

The best I can think of right now is:

ArrayBufferView.prototype.asString = function() {
 var s = "";
 this.forEach(function(d) { s+=String.fromCharCode(d); });  
 return s;
}
