title: How to use strings with JavaScript Typed Arrays
body: <p>I've come across a problem in that I don't see a way to easily convert strings to typed arrays, and converting from typed arrays to strings appears to be a real pain requiring a manual char code conversion for every byte. Is there any better methods to convert strings to typed arrays or vise-versa?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have a UTF8 encoded string, "Something or other", and I want to write it to an ArrayBuffer in length then string format.</p>
