 * @ngdoc object
 * @name Utilities.function:packArrayBuffer

 * Pack a series of arguments into an ArrayBuffer using a format string

 * list of numeric arguments.  There must be exactly as many arguments as letters
 * in the format string.  The format string is used to convert each argument into
 * a little endian binary representation of the number which is serialized into
 * an ArrayBuffer.  The resulting ArrayBuffer is returned.
 *
 * The meaning of each format code is:
 * - B: An 8 bit wide unsigned integer
 * - H: A 16 bit wide unsigned integer
 * - L: A 32 bit wide unsigned integer
 * - l: A 32 bit wide signed integer
 * - #s: A fixed length string with length given by the number preceding s, e.g. 5s for a 5
 *   character string.  If the string argument is shorter than what is specified, it is padded
 *   with null characters.
 *   UPDATE: As of v0.2 '#s' may also represent an ArrayBuffer with a bytelength given by the
 *   number preceding 's'. If the bytelength of the ArrayBuffer argument is shorter than what
 *   is specified, the ArrayBuffer will NOT be padded and an error will be thrown.
 * - V: A variable length byte array. This must come as the last format code
 *
 * ## Exceptions

 *   does not match the number or type of arguments received.
