Pull request overview
This PR improves parser diagnostic clarity by distinguishing errors for rest parameters with initializers (function f(...x = []) {}) from rest binding elements with initializers (e.g. destructuring patterns), making messages more accurate and easier to understand when debugging parse failures.
Changes:
- Add a dedicated diagnostic: “A rest parameter cannot have an initializer.”
- Use the new diagnostic when parsing rest elements in formal parameter lists.
- Update TypeScript, Test262, and Babel coverage snapshots to reflect the refined message.
