Document browser compatibility

[dvoytenko]

Could you please document the browser compatibility, in terms of major dependencies. E.g. is full ES2015 Proxy support required? Is there a way, when using a polyfill, to pre-enumerate known properties?

[surma]

I have added a list of compatible browsers (forgot to close this issue, sorry). I have not tested Comlink with a ES6 proxy polyfill. Might work, might not work.

@surma What would you say to converting this to using babel + core-js and lower the browser requirements?

[surma]

Is there a particular browser that you want to support? Because, as I said, the limiting factor is ES6 proxies, and support for that is looking fairly good!

AFAIR, everything else is in Comlink fairly stable and old tech.

Thanks.
I would like to get it down to Chrome version 43. Not sure if Proxies cannot be transpiled or polyfilled with ES5.

[surma]

There is a polyfill for proxies. If you want give it a try and let me know how it goes.

If I don’t have to mangle my code to make it work, I’m happy to support Chrome 43.

Works with the Proxy polyfill.

Cooool! No further changes necessary? If so I’ll put a comment in the README :)
