Why doesn't Array.from() pass the array to the mapFn?

So Array.from(array-like).map(mapFn) is the way to go then?

Why make two passes over the contents rather than just one?

It is interesting that `Array.from` doesn't pass its first parameter
(`items`, the source object) as the third argument to the mapping function.
I suspect it's because the index doesn't necessarily work with the source
object, if an iterator is being used...
