My reading of the specification is that your examples would throw
TypeError because given an operation like
void foo(array);
the overload resolution algorithm will return no matches unless the
passed type is "is a platform array object, a native Array object, or a
platform object that supports indexed properties", which I think your
examples are not.
However this depends critically on an interpretation of "platform
object" that means a DOM object is a "platform object" whilst an object
like {0:1, 1:2, length:2} is not. I can't work out what the definition
of "platform object" in the spec is supposed to imply. In particular I
can't tell how one can determine mechanically if a given object is a
platform object or not. Could the spec be clarified here please?
