Right, for chunked encoding, I start by treating it as binary data, and 
go from there.
So, I'm not a good source for the usefulness of chunked-text.

When I want text, I convert, but my default is more often to work with 
buffers.

I think Jonas made a good point about multibyte boundaries in text. 
That's not something that can be solved by a simple method:
str = UintToString(IntArrayBufferChunk);

But it can be solved simply by delegating it to XHR and a chunked-type 
response.

My only requirement is for chunked-arraybuffer, but I didn't mean to 
stand in the way of a chunked-text type.
