console.log without arguments #36

Description

@silverwind

The current method signature in the spec says that the first parameter is required:

console.log(object [, object, ...])

Actual behaviour for console.log() without no parameters varies across implementations:

  • Node.js and Firefox log an empty line
  • Chrome and Safari log nothing

There is some usage of this pattern in Node.js modules, so I'm wondering if a change in the spec like this might be in order to change the signature of log and relatives to:

console.log([object][, object, ...])
