Benchmark: concat two arrays: push vs destructuring

Tests:

spread operator
var params = [ "hello", true, 7 ] var other = [ ...params, ...["new", false, 3] ]
Push
var params = [ "hello", true, 7 ]; params.push(...["new", false, 3]);
concatenation
var params = [ "hello", true, 7 ]; var another = ["new", false, 3]; params.concat(another);

**Benchmark Overview**

The provided benchmark compares the performance of three different approaches to concatenate arrays in JavaScript: using the spread operator (`...`), `push()` method with spread syntax, and the `concat()` method.

**Approaches Compared**

1. **Spread Operator (`...`)**: This approach uses the spread operator to create a new array by copying elements from an existing array.
2. **Push with Spread Syntax**: This approach uses the `push()` method with the spread operator (`...`) to add new elements to an existing array.
3. **Concatenation using `concat()` Method**: This approach uses the `concat()` method to concatenate two arrays.

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

1. **Spread Operator (`...`)**:
	* Pros: Efficient, concise, and modern syntax.
	* Cons: May not be supported in older browsers or environments.
2. **Push with Spread Syntax**:
	* Pros: Also efficient and concise, but may require more memory to create a new array.
	* Cons: May have performance overhead due to the creation of a new array.
3. **Concatenation using `concat()` Method**:
	* Pros: Well-supported in older browsers and environments.
	* Cons: Less efficient and less concise than other approaches.

**Library and Special JS Features**

None mentioned in the provided benchmark code.

**Other Considerations**

The benchmark is likely designed to:

1. Compare the performance of different approaches to concatenate arrays in JavaScript.
2. Provide insights into the efficiency and conciseness of various syntaxes.
3. Help developers make informed decisions about which approach to use depending on their specific needs and constraints.

**Alternative Approaches**

Other approaches to concatenate arrays might include:

1. Using `Array.prototype.reduce()` method.
2. Using `Array.prototype.push()`, followed by a loop or recursion to add elements.
3. Using `Array.prototype.forEach()` with the spread operator (`...`).
4. Using a library like Lodash, which provides utility functions for array manipulation.

Note that the specific alternatives may vary depending on the context and requirements of the project.
