    Construct instances of base class from TypedArray.prototype.subarray · e13f2ff4
    littledan authored
    Previous changes with subclassable builtins and @@species were a bit
    aggressive in making TypedArray.prototype.subarray act like the
    ES2016 specification in terms of returning an instance of the
    subclass as a result. It turns out that Node.js, and extracted
    libraries for the web, subclass TypedArrays but don't expect the
    subclass constructor to be called by subarray. @@species will provide
    an escape hatch, but it has not shipped yet, and will take some time
    for uptake by libraries.
    
    For now, this patch makes TypedArray.prototype.subarray fall back to
    constructing an instance of the parent TypedArray class, such as
    Uint8Array.
