Description

Currently multiple arrays are allocated while making a call to method with rest parameter.

E.g.

def rest_method(*args) #-> This will create 2 arrays
end

def post_method(*args,last) #-> This will create 3 arrays
end

Applying following set of changes will reduce creation of array to 1
