Are there alternatives to using the spread (

*

) operator when dynamically building a list to call a varargs method with? or is the detekt

SpreadOperator

rule just there to make sure there's awareness of the performance implications of doing so?

Note that there is still some benchmarking going on. https://github.com/arturbosch/detekt/issues/554 As long as the performance impact is not fixed this will stay open

I still believe that it is mostly for awareness reasons.
