The BigInt shim seems to cause TypeScript/Webpack compilation to hang forever. about nbt-ts

I've found that Babel doesn't support the BigInt notation and gives this error: Identifier directly after number. Not sure what would cause the hanging though.

This could be fixed by replacing the notation 0n with the BigInt constructor BigInt(0).

But I think that it's better to avoid the shim altogether and do a bit more of manual work to read, write BigInts or to use a DataView which also has methods for bigints.

The BigInt Buffer methods are part of Node 12 and it will take some time until that's the standart version of node.

I switched to using DataView again. It might be useful to include @babel/plugin-syntax-bigint if you're using bigint syntax.

Nice, that's fixed it for me. Thanks! :)
