The expression
new Buffer(1).writeUIntBE(0x100,0,1)
should throw an out-of-bounds error, but it does not.

In the source code, value validation is coded as follows:
checkInt(this, value, offset, byteLength, Math.pow(2, 8 * byteLength), 0);

Here, max value should be Math.pow(2, 8 * byteLength) - 1 ?
