Description
Now that all browsers support the new array methods toSpliced(), with(), toSorted(), toReversed(), do they offer a better solution compared to the spread operator, worth documenting in the Updating Arrays in State page?
In the current docs:
const insertAt = 1; // Could be any index
const nextArtists = [
// Items before the insertion point:
...artists.slice(0, insertAt),
// New item:
{ id: nextId++, name: name },
// Items after the insertion point:
...artists.slice(insertAt)
];
Could be replaced with:
setArtists(artists.toSpliced(1, 0, { id: nextId++, name: name }));

Research direction
Start with the Updating Arrays in State page and review the linked array-method reference to compare toSpliced(), with(), toSorted(), and toReversed() with the existing spread-operator examples. Done means deciding whether these methods provide clearer guidance and updating the page if they do.
