I suspect, but brendan could tell us otherwise, that the allowance of trailing
commas is a result of a bug in the_early_ _early_ days of JS, which then got
matched by the wonders of bug for bug compat, and so became necessary for web
compatibility.
No, trailing commas in array and object literals were intentional, to
ease maintenance (counterexample: ANSI and ISO C enum).
The requirement for two adjacent commas to make a hole in an array,
unless the hole is at index 0 (in which case one comma obviously is the
right number), follows. IE JScript had a notorious bug where one
trailing comma in an array literal made a hole, but that's long fixed.
