THATS COPYRIGHT NODEJITSU IF YOU STEAL OUR CODE IM TOTALLY GONNA SUE YOU
Kidding :-p
I'm trying to think if there is a good way to include the other encoding in this sugar syntax api, maybe try to get this in core. Do you have any suggestions?
Nah I think it's trivial enough that it should just be documented somewhere perhaps. A lot of older node libs have vendored an even older base64.js file and it'd be nice if people didn't have to do that.
Word, I know I have base64.js files kicking around from before the Buffer object could this do. Maybe we'll do a quick blog post.
Haha, nice fork of my gist :0D

I'm pretty sure you wrote this one too? I just copy pasted from broodmother.
What's "exports" at line 8?

Jesus, I just did this in a way more painful way today. Thanks!
