Support for IE7/IE8

[tauren]

I just attempted to run my app that uses Plates in IE8 and it blew up. I noticed pull request #53 makes plates more compatible with ES3, so I thought Plates might work in IE8.

Is there already support for IE7/IE8? If not, is it something that is planned? If there is support, what shims are required to make it work? My application needs to support IE7+, and I'm trying to determine how much effort will be involved to use Plates.

I'm already using this style of accessing reserved words:

this.mapping['class']('check').use('done').as('checked');

Instead of this:

this.mapping.class.('check').use('done').as('checked');

This was one of the first things that hit me as well when I started testing Plates for cross browser compatibility. To tackle this issue I have added a map#className alias which maps directly to map#class.

This fix should land in master soon, so I thought I'd give you and heads up on this :)

There is now an alias for class, if you need IE7/8 support you can use map.className instead of map.class. The alias landed in master, so I'm closing this. All other IE related issues are solved in master.
