These have been deprecated since Apr 27, 2013, and the plan was to remove them in "node v0.13", according to the comments.
buffer.get(index) is superseded by buffer[index].
buffer.set(index, value) is superseded by buffer[index] = value.
I haven't seen these used in real code, ever. They also have never been documented at any point in node's history, according to the git commit history for doc/api/buffer.markdown.
I think it is safe to finally remove these.
Thoughts?
