One thing that would be good to think about as I don't think we did this quite right with `[AllowResizable]` is where we would want to see this used. Because now we have resizable buffers in JavaScript, but nowhere to use them in the web platform. From a web developer perspective that is not exactly great.

For instance, we have a fair number of APIs that essentially copy the buffer input so ideally they should all adopt this out of the gate. No real reason for `TextDecoder` to still reject these the moment the JS engine supports them.
