Bit-TypedArray does not support bitOffset, length in constructor

BitArray doesn't seem to support both buffer, byteOffset and length in the constructor, as other TypedArrays do:

new TypedArray(buffer, byteOffset, length)

Thanks for the comment.

I would suggest this requires careful thinking. For standards TypedArrays, it is always possible to match boundaries however one likes, with a proper combination of byteOffset and length. But, for bit arrays, it is not possible to match all bit boundaries.

Ideally, we should go for bitOffset rather than byteOffset (as suggested by you in the issue title). But this leads to other issues (this is not how array buffers work).

At this stage, I am not convinced byteOffset makes sense here, and has any practical use. I am rather inclined to allow calling the constructor with a buffer instance, but no other arguments (tbd). Are you with me?
