--- Comment #1 from Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> ---
Why do you need to structured clone?  If the argument is an arraybuffer, you
can just explicitly make a copy of its data (basically by calling the canonical
ArrayBuffer.prototype.slice on it, with 0 as argument).

Unless you're _trying_ to preserve the at-the-time-of-call expandos as well?  I
would argue that's not worth it, and is in fact undesirable.
