Description Andreas Kling 2010-06-02 06:49:56 PDT

See Web IDL spec, 4.3.5 "Operations":
http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/#es-operations

Essentially, functions should throw a TypeError if called with too few arguments.

This behavior is implemented by Gecko and Opera.

Proposed patch

We have made a conscious decision not throw for two few arguments and we should a much larger discussion if we want to change that behavior.  It is very likely that this will break a lot of webkit specific code paths on web. r-

I see. Where can I find the original discussion about this?
