just thinking about this, how about you keep ByteArray as it is,
deprecating it, and you introduce a global Buffer still based on UInt8Array
?
in cgjs I've just done `require("buffer")` which brings in the node version
of a buffer which is already based on native Uint8Array
it'd be awkward to move back and forward from ByteArray <=>
Buffer/Uint8Array in the transition time, so having a new primitive already
well documented might be a better option?
otherwise I personally wouldn't care as long as it's backward compatible
