[Bug 23369] Provide hooks for Typed Arrays

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23369

That depends on how this stuff is defined.  If it's defined to check branding
bits, ES6 subclasses should Just Work, I would think.

> The replacement for ArrayBufferView is the function ArrayBuffer.isView(obj)

Right.  My proposal is that we have a WebIDL way to say "accept any object for
which ArrayBuffer.isView() would return true".  Then we just need a name for
that concept.

> If an API is going to accept both views and ArrayBuffers it needs to be able to
> map a view to the appropriate subsequence of its buffer.

Yes.  The point of accepting views is to only use the byes mapped by the view,
not the entire backing store.
