You're right, defaults would take care of those few places reducing
the need to reference the arguments object entirely. I think there may
be one or two exceptions, like when there's no default value but an
explicit `undefined` is coerced to "undefined" but a lack of the
argument becomes an empty string. I guessable default value of the
empty string may cover this but I have a nagging feeling there's some
exception in one of the builtin methods that defies all attempts that
don't rely on arguments.length, but I can't figure out what that
method might be.
If it exists, it's just bad precedent.
You could always use an explicit rest parameter as the only formal
parameter and still dispense with arguments in new code. So let's say
s/could/should/.
