The arguments keyword is statically detectable (or can be hedged against in the much-worse possible use of eval), which makes it far better. fun.arguments and fun.caller are about equally bad. And to the extent there are "correct" semantics for fun.arguments, engines break those daily whenever optimization opportunities present themselves. In the longer run the code will not look "basically the same", so arguing from what the code looks like now, in any engine, is not especially convincing. > but on the practical level we all know it's going to be like that, right? I don't understand what you're saying/implying here. Could you spell it out more clearly, please?
