Script Preparation code:

var params = [ "hello", true, 1, { foo: 'bar' } ];

var concat = (input) => [].concat(params);
var push = (input) => [].push(...input);
var concatApply = (input) => Array.prototype.concat.apply([], input);
var pushApply = (input) => Array.prototype.push.apply([], input);
var spread = (input) => [...input];
var loop = (input) => {
  var acc = [];
  for(var i = 0, l = input.length; i < l; i++) {
    acc.push(input[i]);
  }
  return acc;
}
