To toggle design mode, put this in your favorite:
javascript:(function(){document.designMode=document.designMode==="on"?"off":"on"})();

Also, because the array destructuring uses the iteration protocol, we can't destructure a null array:

a = null;
[...a]; // throws an error
{...a}; // works fine

About the performance considerations, do you have some benchmarks?

I tried a simple array destructuring for pushing values to an array, and it's faster than the push method: jsben.ch/IFmIz

I've been thinking a lot about this recently, and this is the trick: Pump yourself up about what you're working on. It can't be fake. You really have to somehow make yourself genuinely excited about what you're working on. Productivity will follow automatically. Nothing else even moves the needle compared to this, as far as I'm concerned.
