Arguments object is used here to fill the rest void, but also as an argument to apply (after converting into a real array) when writing wrapper functions; eg monkey patches, userspace profiling, etc.
Is there an ES6 way to use apply on rest params? If not, arguments must live on.

In light of this, I think its feasible to pronounce the arguments object in ES6 as vestigial and ready for retirement (except for all the legacy code of course). ES6 claims another victim: [object Arguments].
