Uncaught ReferenceError: _Buffer is not defined

[w-ah]

Description
_Buffer is not defined in Node.js. If the program reaches this statement, an error will be thrown and, if uncaught, will crash the node process.

Minimal Reproduction
In Node.js REPL (tested against v16.13.2):

> _Buffer
Uncaught ReferenceError: _Buffer is not defined

Workaround
For Node.js, alias the Buffer global as _Buffer in your program entrypoint so that it is defined before calling anything in bson-objectid:

global['_Buffer'] = Buffer;

Possible Fix
Attempt to use _Buffer, else fall back to using Buffer. Just using normal Buffer global fixes things for Node.js so a global alias is not required.

Not actually sure why _Buffer is being used anyway?

This is fixed and released in v2.0.4 of bson-objectid to npm. Until we have access to master branch of this repository we have published our changes in a fork at https://github.com/cabinjs/bson-objectid.
