I'm not familiar enough with ArrayBuffers to understand the consequences.
By analogy with Array.isArray, if a proxy-for-arraybuffer automatically
upholds all observable invariants of ArrayBuffers, then arguably the test
should return true for proxies. What would be the observable invariants of
an ArrayBuffer?
ArrayBuffer.isView() should not return `true` for exotic array objects.
That was just a spec bug, fixed in rev16
(https://bugs.ecmascript.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1570).
As currently spec'ed, ArrayBuffer.isView() only returns true for
TypedArray objects and DataView objects (both kind of objects have got a
[[ViewedArrayBuffer]] internal data property). And there are no
observable invariants which can be used for this case.
