The splat turns out to be a really useful little idiom for Ruby.

Have you asked Adobe?

I have a base class that takes a … rest argument at the end of its constructor. It has a subclass which also takes … rest at the end of its constructor. Currently the base class has to inspect rest[0] to see if it’s an Array, but that’s only OK because none of the expected arguments are Arrays.

If I understand your post correctly, I could be using function.apply() in some circumstances, but I’m not sure that would work in a constructor call to super?

Ack.
