Argument type checking only comes into play when more than one possible overload matches the passed-in argument count. And again, for purposes of the undefined discussion what really matters here is whether trailing undefined should be counted or not for purposes of the argument count for this algorithm. I guess if we leave arguments.length as-is in JS then they should be, for consistency.... -Boris
