I would think with

function foo(a, b, ...others, c) {
}

then given

foo(1, 2);

...within foo a is 1, b is 2, others is empty, and c is undefined. E.g.,
args prior to the restargs get priority over args after rest args. This is
consistent with

foo(1);

...where within foo a is 1, b is undefined, others is empty, and c is
undefined.

It does seem as though it can be deterministic, and pretty easy to explain.
Which isn't necessarily an endorsement, just identifying that this
particular issue doesn't immediately seem like a roadblock.
