Description

base64-js is used in the buffer module, so it would save a little bit of duplication.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the buffer module and comparing its Base64 implementation with base64-js. Determine whether the duplicate implementation can be replaced without changing behavior; done means the module uses one implementation and its existing behavior remains intact.
