[Arrays] To convert an array-like object to an array, use spreads ... instead of Array.from

[maurozenoni]

I do not agree with what you can read in paragraph 4.4.

In fact, my understanding is that spread syntax can only be applied to iterable objects and not to array-like objects.

References:

• MDN
• Javscript.info

Before changes introduced with issue #1084, you could read:

To convert an array-like object to an array, use Array.from

which I consider being correct.

Furthermore, I would personally expand it by saying:

To convert an iterable object or an array-like object to an array, use Array.from

That is because I agree with the authors of Javscript.info:

So, for the task of turning something into an array, Array.from tends to be more universal.

Good point. This was added in #1549.

We should update this to indicate that iterables should use spreads, but array-like objects should use Array.from.
