Thanks! This worked for me for a toy example (for multiple calls, I’d record
whether an exception was thrown during the first try):
```
try {
// Try new API (clone)
worker.postMessage({sharedBuffer});
} catch (e) {
// Fall back to old API (transfer)
worker.postMessage({sharedBuffer}, [sharedBuffer]);
}
```
