Your insight about Andreas's reduce example seals the deal for me.

Interestingly, if multiple arguments are not added now, they may never be possible, since there will be so much `[a, b, c].reduce(Object.assign)` code in the wild that implicitly passes an index as the third parameter and the whole array as the fourth parameter.

It's now or never. I agree multiple sources are useful enough to do now; I don't see a different third parameter that would be precluded by deciding this. But others may disagree.

Hello,

Tonight, when playing with ES6’s new functions, I was wishing that `Object.assign` could accept several `source` objects:

Object.assign(target, source1, source2, ...) // equivalent to `Object.assign(Object.assign(Object.assign(target, source1), source2), ...)`

My use case: I have several objects, used as dictionaries, coming from different sources, and I want to merge them together. For example:

c.prototype.exec = function(userParams) {
var params = Object.assign({ method: "GET" }, this.defaultParams, userParams)
// etc.
}

Any thoughts?

—Claude
