I think the name buffer is means can be extended, the ByteBuffer in
dart:typed_data is more like
a ByteView or ByteList.

The name liley comes from the similar ArrayBuffer name in JavaScript typed arrays.

I agree that it is slightly confusing.

To be honest, the "buffer" name is so overloaded that I'd be wary at assigning any fixed meaning to it. For example, a buffered stream is expected to have a fixed size buffer that it fills up before flushing.

Indeed, Uint8Array->Uint8List
so that's Array-> List
so mabye ListBuffer is a better replacement?
Ineed, I thinks it's either don't rename, or rename it with a good name.
