If you need to name an arrow function you can use let or const and reference the name both within body and use it as an argument expression.
regarding using 'arguments' within arrow functions, I would be sympathetic if somebody wanted to argue that arrow functions should treat 'arguments' similar to this and super and not local rebind its meaning. However, I would also anticipate some implementor push back on that as I suspect that implementations aren't current set up to uplevel access 'arguments' Allen On Mar 16, 2013, at 3:19 PM, Axel Rauschmayer wrote: > OK.
