An array destructing specification choice

[Allen Wirfs-Brock]

In a similar vain, what is the value of r in:

let [z,y,...r] = {0:0, 1:1, 2:2, length: 3, 3:3,4:4};

should it be [2] or [2,3,4]  (and if the latter how is that determined)?

It seems to me that [2] is the right answer, and if that is the cause, consistency requires that for the first problem z gets the value undefined.
