Aren't there limits to the number of arguments you can pass to a ES function before getting a stack overflow?
I've gotten in trouble trying to abuse the `arguments` array like this before, for example `Math.max.apply(Math, someVeryLargeArray)`. Empirically, with iojs 1.8.1: ``` > Math.max.apply(Math, new Array(100000)) NaN > Math.max.apply(Math, new Array(1000000)) RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded ``` I suppose it would be nice if JavaScript engines fell back to passing arguments on the heap to avoid this problem, but I don't think that's part of the ES6 spec. Am I mistaken? If we're going to add math functions to the standard library, my vote would be for http://www.evanmiller.org/statistical-shortcomings-in-standard-math-libraries.html --scott
