+            1. Let _O_ be the *this* value.

+            1. TODO: Confirm inclusion of this redundant check.
+            1. If IsDetachedBuffer(_O_) is *true*, throw a *TypeError* exception.
+            1. Let _len_ be _O_.[[ArrayBufferByteLength]].
+            1. Let _bounds_ be ? ResolveBounds(_len_, _start_, _end_).

+            1. Let _final_ be _bounds_.[[To]].
+            1. TODO: Confirm this strictness vs. the conventional `max(_final_ - _first_, 0)`.
+            1. Let _newLen_ be _final_ - _first_.
+            1. If _newLen_ &lt; 0, throw a *RangeError* exception.
+            1. Let _copyLen_ be min(_newLen_, _len_).
+            1. NOTE: Side-effects of the above steps may have detached or resized _O_. This algorithm proceeds only when _O_ is not detached, even if _newLen_ is 0.
+            1. If IsDetachedBuffer(_O_) is *true*, throw a *TypeError* exception.
+            1. Let _newBuffer_ be ? AllocateImmutableArrayBuffer(%ArrayBuffer%, _newLen_, _O_.[[ArrayBufferData]], _first_, _copyLen_).
+            1. Return _newBuffer_.
