Just FTR, no one is proposing type guarded variants. Maybe they'll be
wanted later -- so the alterna-constructor method(s) can be named then.
For now, Array.new is polyfill-able on pre-ES5 implementations if you
are willing to write Array['new'] all over. That is a drag, though.

I agree with Rick on the general feeling with Array.of
If arguing ambiguity I would argue a better method name for type
guarded arrays would be Array.ofType

But Array.of is not. Maybe Array.new is a good name.
Array.of is unambiguous with the current ES specification
Array.new is ok too, though -- no problem with a reserved
identifier as
a property name. It's darn nice for Rubyists.
OTOH Array.of matches the preposition pattern used in Array.from.
But I
don't think this trumps Array.new.
Nor do I, but I think it poses a problem for polyfilling (which is
not a silver bullet).
+1 Array.new, but I still think Array.of sounds, feels and looks nicer

Cc'ing Dave for his thoughts.
