[Arrays] To convert an array-like object to an array, use Array.from

See original GitHub issue

In 4.3 you say to use the array operator to copy arrays.

Why not do the same for creating arrays 4.4?

const foo = document.querySelectorAll('.foo');
const nodes = [ ...foo ];

Obviously the title would need to change, but I think the syntax is more consistent with 4.3.
