According to the documentation, the Buffer.from() function should accept byteOffset and length parameters, but those are actually ignored:
Buffer.from( "hello world" )
<Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>
Buffer.from( "hello world", 2, 3 )
<Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>
Expected output:
Buffer.from( "hello world", 2, 3 )
<Buffer 6c 6c 6f>
