ability to write a 16bit integer during instantiation about bitwriter

[brianloveswords]

The constructor currently takes a length. Would passing an array of bytes assume the the length of the array, with appropriate adjustment made for 16 or 32 bit ints?

That strawman for specifying length doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

in my case, I'm writing against a graphics board that has different word lengths: header can include 8bit commands and 16bit commands like x and y.

it would be nice to be able to commingle those in the constructor.

I'd whip up some code but I'm on my way to the zoo for the day :)

Rad, enjoy the zoo!

Just to make sure I implement what you're asking for:

var buf = new BitWriter([ 1, 2, 64738, 23 ]);

Would basically be convenience for

var buf = new BitWriter(5);
buf
  .write(1)
  .write(2) 
  .write(64738)
  .write(23);

and

var buf = new BitWriter([ 1, 2, 64738, { value: 23, width: 16 } ]);

would be

var buf = new BitWriter(6);
buf
  .write(1)
  .write(2) 
  .write(64738)
  .write(23, { size: 16 });

that's exactly what I am after.
