     * SECURITY WARNING: In nodejs do not pass a Buffer's internal array buffer into this constructor. Pass the buffer
     * directly and everything will be fine. If not, your message will potentially be initialized with random memory
     * contents!
     *
     * The constructor method creates a new Message, optionally using a provided arena for segment allocation, or a buffer
     * to read from.
     *
     * @constructor {Message}
     *
     * @param {AnyArena|ArrayBufferView|ArrayBuffer} [src] The source for the message.
     * A value of `undefined` will cause the message to initialize with a single segment arena only big enough for the
     * root pointer; it will expand as you go. This is a reasonable choice for most messages.
     *
     * Passing an arena will cause the message to use that arena for its segment allocation. Contents will be accepted
     * as-is.
     *
     * Passing an array buffer view (like `DataView`, `Uint8Array` or `Buffer`) will create a **copy** of the source
     * buffer; beware of the potential performance cost!
     *
     * @param {boolean} [packed] Whether or not the message is packed. If `true` (the default), the message will be
     * unpacked.
     *
     * @param {boolean} [singleSegment] If true, `src` will be treated as a message consisting of a single segment without
     * a framing header.
