I don't think it's worth splitting the IDL just for the output. That causes additional code size in browsers too because an extra object needs to be supported.

`BufferSource` isn't a real type, it's just means either `ArrayBuffer` or `ArrayBufferView`. For inputs that has real benefits as you not, but on the output it doesn't really make any difference because the underlying object will still be an `ArrayBuffer`. E.g.:
