     and there is an overload with an optional argument at this position, then
     we will choose that overload.  If there is no valid overload for the type of

+    Generally, the inspection of the value at the distinguishing argument index does not have any
+    side effects, and the only side effects in the overload resolution algorithm are the result of
+    converting the ECMAScript values to IDL values.

+    In this case, we attempt to get the {{@@iterator}} property to determine the appropriate

+    with the next step.)
 
     At this point, we have determined which overload to use.  We now
     convert the remaining arguments, from the distinguishing argument onwards,
