I'm missing you point. What do you mean by "Arguments" class.
as currently spec'd 
   function foo(...arguments) {baz(arguments) }
is semantically the same as
   function foo(...args) {baz(args) }

The only difference is the name binding for the rest parameter.  In both cases it is a regular Array object, not an ES5 arguments objects. 

Did you have something else in mind?
