That's an issue that needs to be handled in general too, not just when
undefined is passed, since, for example, if the function is defined as:
void f(in DOMString foo);
And then it is called as:
x.f("foo", "bar")
Then it should just ignore the second parameter. This is essential
behaviour that allows, for example, querySelector() to be extended with
extra parameters, while not causing problems with legacy implementations.
