ES3 and 5 specify Array.prototype.splice such that [1,2,3].splice(1) means the 
same thing as [1,2,3].splice(1,0)

Mozilla documents 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/splice)
 an extended form of splice:
array.splice(index, [howMany, [element1][, ..., elementN]]);  // SpiderMonkey 
extension

where [1,2,3].splice(1) essentially means [1,2,3].splice(1, [1,2,3].length)

Most other browsers also seem to support this extensions.  Was it an oversight 
that ES5 was not updated to include support for this extended behavior?

Is there consensus that this is defacto standard behavior that is needed for 
interoperability among browsers and that it should be incorporated into Harmony?
