ES6 support

[devcrust]

Plato now supports ES6!

For eslint, make sure the following configuration is part of the .eslintrc file:

"parser": "esprima", "parserOptions": { "ecmaVersion": 6 }

Thanks @devcrust, merged and published 1.6.0. If you're interested in maintaining further, please let me know.

Just curious here as escomplex itself doesn't support generating any data for ES6+ per se. IE no class or class method data is output for instance nor is there any support for any ES6+ code / directives / AST node processing.

I've been working on a major rewrite of escomplex over the past 2 months which is published under typhonjs-escomplex and related modules. I should be done with things being rather stable in about a week and there are numerous enhancements with this effort; uses Babylon for source processing supporting ES6+/ES7/edge code; has a modular architecture w/ separate AST processing modules; plugin system, etc. Unfortunately the current maintainer of escomplex was not forthcoming or amenable with joining forces / accepting my major rewrite.

@typhonrt your rewrite would be preferred 100% and I would love your help getting it wired in. This update was accepted merely to make it not break. If you're interested in contributing and helping maintain plato then you would be very welcome.

Sounds good.. I'll open a follow up issue when I finish this effort. It's hard to say how involved I can be in directly upgrading plato itself as far time commitment is concerned, but can of course help answer questions in a timely manner for anyone taking on the plato upgrade.

I'll be working on an ESDoc plugin integrating typhonjs-escomplex, so a thorough example will be available to compare.
