  I see the workaround works in node as well. Thanks for the tip!

  $ node
  > function foo() {
  ... for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
  ..... console.log(arguments[i]);
  ..... }
  ... }
  undefined
  > foo(1,2)
  1
  2
  undefined
  > foo(100)
  100
  undefined
  > foo(1,2,3,4,5)
  1
  2
  3
  4
  5
  undefined

  I was testing espruino on the Linux command line (while waiting for my boards to be shipped) and ran across this error. Is this a bug, or a feature?

  $ espruino

  The source was cloned from github and compiled on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. I got the same error on an OS X build as well. It was built with the following commands:

  export BOARD=LINUX
  source ./scripts/provision.sh $BOARD
   make clean && RELEASE=1 BOARD=$BOARD make
  

  I saw this post Functions with unknown amount of args. but I didn't get the same results.
