IMO, one of the main concerns of the [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.com) language is to support the existing vanilla JavaScript code. This is the impression I had at first glance. Take a look at the following JavaScript function which is perfectly valid:

```
function sum(numbers) { 

    var agregatedNumber = 0; 
    for(var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) { 
        agregatedNumber += arguments[i];
    }

    return agregatedNumber;
}

```

So, we consume this function with any number of arguments:

```
console.log(sum(1, 5, 10, 15, 20));

```

However, when I try this out with [TypeScript Playground](http://www.typescriptlang.org/Playground/), it gives compile time errors.

I am assuming that this is a bug. Let's assume that we don't have the compatibility issues. Then, is there any way to write this type of functions with open-ended arguments? Such as `params` feature in C#?
