Is the controversy editorial or fact, because the following methods are all
specified to use a temporary, newly initialized Array internally:
Array.prototype.concat
Array.prototype.filter
Array.prototype.map
Array.prototype.slice
Array.prototype.splice
String.prototype.match
String.prototype.split
RegExp.prototype.exec
Object.getOwnPropertyNames
Object.keys

This doesn't produce the same as Array.prototype.repeat..
// regular
console.log( Array.generate( 3, [1,2,3] ) );
// sparse
console.log( Array.generate( 3, [1,2,,3] ) );
[ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ] ]
[ [ 1, 2, , 3 ], [ 1, 2, , 3 ], [ 1, 2, , 3 ] ]
