Script Preparation code:

window.testArray = [1, 'a', undefined, null, false, { a: 123 }, [1, 2, 3]];
window.arraySlice = Array.prototype.slice;
window.arrayConcat = Array.prototype.concat;

Tests:

Array.prototype.slice [direct call]
const a = window.testArray.slice();
Array.prototype.slice [saved function call]
const a = arraySlice.call(window.testArray);
Array.prototype.concat [direct call]
const a = window.testArray.concat([]);
Array.prototype.concat [saved function call]
const a = window.arrayConcat.call(window.testArray, []);
Spread operator
const a = [...window.testArray];
