ArrayBuffer polyfill for ES3/5 engines

I just found this while aimlessly Googling around:
https://gist.github.com/Benvie/5020656

It's a complete implementation of the ArrayBuffer and DataView objects (but not typed arrays, apparently) for non-supporting JS engines, including ES3.  It might be interesting to see how this performs in Sphere 1.x; I'd expect it to be pretty slow compared to natively-implemented buffers, but who knows?

Is there already an ArrayBuffer fill for Sphere that uses ByteArray?

@NEO Are you thinking of my polyfill? That worked the other way around, implementing ByteArrays using ArrayBuffers.
