toBuffer() docs wrong?

[mprobst]

toBuffer() is documented as returning ArrayBuffer, but returns Buffer in nodejs in practice.

https://github.com/dcodeIO/bytebuffer.js/wiki/API#bytebuffertobufferforcecopy

Oversight, intentional?

Iirc the docs have been generated from the browser version, where it's all ArrayBuffer.

I ran into this because the TypeScript .d.ts has toBuffer return ArrayBuffer in node, which then causes incorrect compilation errors. Any ideas on how to avoid that?

As a workaround, you could try to wrap the result of toBuffer() in a Buffer.from(...).
