I JavaScript, has a spread-like operator for optional elements been considered? Something like:

['a', ?'b']
=> ['a', 'b']

['a', ?null]
=> ['a']

I know you can emulate this with a spread + conditional + array literal, but I think this could be way simpler to understand.

@rauschma or any other JavaScript experts

@acjay It feels a little too niche to me, but you can ask for feedback here: es.discourse.group

Note that TC39 tends to be very conservative w.r.t. adding things to the language (I know because I had suggestions too in the past 😀).

Spreading as a work-around can become more elegant if “add no elements” is represented by an empty Array.

@rauschma Sorry for the delayed response, but thanks, Axel!
