Lady’s notes :⁠—

• [2023-05-01] There is very little reason to ever use this module; most of the time the higher memory cost of just using a normal typed array is worth avoiding the computational overhead of actually reading out the values. It was originally built for things like tilemaps and bitmap fonts in which the number of items can conceivably get quite large (although nowhere near Ecmascript limits). It can also be conceivably used to compact data before sending it over the wire by removing some of the unused bits (but not all, for which a more involved implementation would be necessary).
