Question

Given a function/type declaration like this:

function Person(name, ... other args ...){
    this.name
    ... other init code ...
}

I would like to be able to call the Person constructor with an array of arguments to be applied to it. I could do:

Person.apply(this, args)

Except that this doesn’t instantiate a person, it merely calls it as a function. Is there any way you call it in this way but in the “new” context, i.e behaving like:

new Person(...)

Correct answer has emerged on the other thread: How can I construct an object using an array of values for parameters, rather than listing them out, in JavaScript?
