  ///
  /// @code
  ///   char* data = static_cast<char*>(array_buffer_var.Map());
  ///   uint32_t byte_length = array_buffer_var.ByteLength();
  ///   for (uint32_t i = 0; i < byte_length; ++i)
  ///     data[i] = 'A';
  /// @endcode
  ///
  /// @return A pointer to the internal buffer for this
  /// <code>ArrayBuffer</code>.

  /// space. Use this if you want to save memory but might want to call Map()
  /// to map the buffer again later.
