I've looked at the parser code, and at this level, the named 'rest'
parameter is handled, although an anonymous 'rest' parameter isn't, yet.

The higher-level DOM code doesn't understand the Abstract Syntax Tree
that the parser builds for these parameters though, and of course, there
is now way in ASMethod / ASArg to expose this information.

I'm writing some unit tests for this now.  Hopefully I'll get the chance
today to write the code so that the tests will pass.

I plan to add the API methods...

  ASMethod#addRestParam(String name)  =>  ASArg
and
  ASArg#isRest()  =>  boolean


Does that sound like what you need?
