`$$props` references all props that are passed to a component, including ones that are not declared with `export`. It is not generally recommended, as it is difficult for Svelte to optimise. But it can be useful in rare cases – for example, when you don't know at compile time what props might be passed to a component.
`$$props` references all props that are passed to a component, including ones that are not declared with `export`. Using `$$props` will not perform as well as references to a specific prop because changes to any prop will cause Svelte to recheck all usages of `$$props`. But it can be useful in some cases – for example, when you don't know at compile time what props might be passed to a component.

```svelte
<Widget {...$$props} />
```

`$$restProps` contains only the props which are _not_ declared with `export`. It can be used to pass down other unknown attributes to an element in a component. It shares the same optimisation problems as `$$props`, and is likewise not recommended.
`$$restProps` contains only the props which are _not_ declared with `export`. It can be used to pass down other unknown attributes to an element in a component. It shares the same performance characteristics compared to specific property access as `$$props`.
