Revisit...
function foo( a, b, ...others, c ) {
return [ a, b, others, c ];
}
foo( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 );
It's clear to me that you want any formal params that follow a ...rest to
pop values off the arguments list until the params are satisfied, ie. c = 9.
The context of my question assumed there was a desire to avoid the
complexity and that the discussion had already reached consensus on only
allowing rest params at the end of a formal parameter list.
