Hi Till,

I believe Boris Zbarski touched on this recently at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-script-coord/2013AprJun/0428.html (I haven't read the full thread, so can't tell what the conclusion were, but it's probably worth checking out)

I couldn't find any precise definition for the spec term "present", so this is not entirely clear to me.

Example:
In step 7 of 15.4.3.21 Array.prototype.reduce, a TypeError must be thrown if the optional argument `initialValue` isn't present. If a value of `undefined` does *not* cause the argument to be present, that function can be implemented with the following signature:

`function ArrayReduce(callbackfn, initialValue = undefined)`

If, however, the value `undefined` means that the argument is present, the signature should probably be:

`function ArrayReduce(callbackfn, ...rest)`


The question isn't entirely academic, as I'm trying to get the self-hosted implementations of builtins in SpiderMonkey to be as close to the spec as possible.


thanks,
till
