Thanks for the pointer!
I like Claude's use-case and recall Allen citing it too. So, two reasons:
1. Higher-order functional programming wants a function, not literal syntax.
2. Subclassing Array works too, thanks to ES6's class-side inheritance.

Back when Dave Herman and I first dreamed up Array.of, I wrote this

Here is one case where literal array syntax is not possible:
class ImprovedArray extends Array { ... }
let a = ImprovedArray.of( ... )

What is an example of a use case where one would choose to use
Array.of instead of the literal array syntax?
