Buffer doesn't export these in node? What's the intent?

Thanks @chjj 🧡

This is silly, but I'm now actually having second thoughts on this one.

I know this is compatible with browserify as browserify exposes global to the module, but I'm curious about other bundlers: parcel/webpack/rollup/esbuild/etc (I know the latter two steer their users towards ES modules, but I think they have some kind of CJS compatibility plugins too?).

Maybe we should switch this to a typeof x !== 'undefined' pattern to avoid potentially breaking non-browserify bundlers?

Or maybe I'm just being paranoid and they all support global.

I'm happy with the cautious approach (typeof x !== 'undefined'), but ideally, can we test this package easily in our CI with some other bundlers?
