Your previous mail showed the obvious desugaring, which was what Lars Thomas Hansen pioneered at Opera, which fed into ES4 and SpiderMonkey JS1.7 and up, and which is still what the harmony:destructuring proposal specs. The addition of ... into patterns requires an interpretation. Error, all index properties ignoring any 'length' in the RHS, all index properties up to the length value, other we haven't thought of. Whatever we do this doesn't break the huge benefits of destructuring. /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
