Use spread operator to get the arguments more safely

[cyan33]

Hi @zertosh,

Don't know if this repo is still under maintainence. Anyway, I've noticed that it uses a, b, c, d, e as placeholders for the %s to be replaced. This could be easily improved by using the spread operator. It enhances the readability and is more safe in case the length of the placeholders is more than 5.

Would love to listen to your thought on this. 😄

I'd be concerned that the spread operator in the function signature would result in the argument spreading being executed on every call, not just failing ones. How about old-school use of arguments when the condition fails?

@adamdicarlo i don't see how is that a problem

@Sceat Yeah, me neither, now (that was a while ago). At the time I was thinking it could be a performance issue. With eliminating these kinds of checks in production builds, it's no issue at all (maybe that wasn't standard when I commented? 🤔 ) ... even for debug builds I don't think it's nearly inefficient enough to be a problem.
