spread syntax is not supported to split a string

[mjarraya]

When attempting to split a string using the ... spread syntax, the behaviour is not consistent with JS specification:

const slicedPizza = [...'pizza'];

console.log(slicedPizza);
// expected ['p', 'i', 'z', 'z', 'a']
// actual ['pizza']

what bugs me is that the following examples behave as expected:

function sum(x, y, z) {
  return x + y + z;
}

const numbers = [1, 2, 3];

console.log(sum(...numbers));
// 6

let parts = ['shoulders', 'knees'];
let lyrics = ['head', ...parts, 'and', 'toes'];

console.log(lyrics)
// ['head', 'shoulders', 'knees', 'and', 'toes']

Can be reproduced by copying these examples in the playground
