`arguments` is not available in an arrow function

In a function, the arguments object is an available local variable, demonstrated thusly:

> function normalFn() {console.log(arguments)}
> normalFn()
{}
> normalFn(1)
{ '0': 1 }

But arrow functions don't get the arguments object:

> const arrowFn = () => {console.log(arguments)}
> arrowFn()
ReferenceError: arguments is not defined
