Anonymous positional splats cannot be directly accessed, they can only be passed as splats to other methods. So if an anonymous positional splat would be empty, you can use a shared frozen empty array to save an allocation.
This is similar to how anonymous empty keyword splats are optimized, except those use
nil
instead of a shared empty frozen hash.This updates the allocation tests to check that the array allocations are avoided where possible.
It also makes a small change to test_iseq.rb to ensure an unfrozen hash is passed as the value of an anonymous splat parameter.
