Description

[`DataView`](https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DataView)s would simplify a huge amount of the `read*` and `write*` methods. Additionally, using `DataView` would eliminate the need for the `ieee754` dependency. This would save users time and storage when installing `buffer`. Additionally, `ieee754` has not received any updates in the past 4 years.
