I interpreted the proposal differently... This is what I envisioned:
var bufferToTransfer = /* make ArrayBuffer */;
var bufferToCopy = /* make ArrayBuffer */;
var worker = /* make Worker */;
var message = { buf1: bufferToTransfer, buf2: bufferToCopy };
worker.postMessage(message, [bufferToTransfer]);
We'd keep the structure exactly the same, it's just that when we clone
'message' we compare each object value to one of the ones passed in
the transfer array. If the objects match (===) then we'd transfer it
rather than copy it.
Does that sound like what you were hoping for?
