The ... destructuring for arrays is an excellent improvement that makes
javascript code more readable and robust.
On seeing the syntax for the first time I expected to be able to use it
more completely. For example:
```js
const [column, ...restOfColumns] = columns;
const objProps = column.valueCh

you don't get each code unit, you get each code *point* - and similarly,
you can spread any iterator, array or not, and collect items from it

had me thinking of it as destructuring into an array and then mappi
