In TurboFan we can easily recognize calls to String.prototype.slice where the start parameter is -1 and the end parameter is either undefined or not present. These calls either return an empty string if the input string is empty, or the last character of the input string as a single character string. So we can just make use of the existing StringCharAt operator. This reduces the overhead of the String.prototype.slice calls from optimized code in the chai test of the web-tooling-benchmark significantly. We observe a 2-3% improvement on the test.
