[META] support ES6 features!

[millermedeiros]

as long as it is supported by esprima it should be fairly easy to add it. (eg. ArrowFunctionExpression)

[millermedeiros]

esprima doc about es6 features: http://esprima.org/doc/es6.html - only partial support for now.

+1 it will be great to have support for generators so it can be used right now with koajs.

I started a test branch of rocambole using acorn instead of esprima, but it looks like both projects uses different range info, so it should take a little bit longer to make it work properly with esformatter.

Esprima 2.0 was released 20 days ago, which has (partial) ES6 support. 6 days ago class support was added to the master branch.

[millermedeiros]

@lukescott just tested esprima@2.0 and it only introduced a single regression to the esformatter tests.. and it is definitely an edge case (probably related to EmptyStatement not existing anymore on the AST)

[millermedeiros]

I just published rocambole@0.5 which uses esprima@2.0, so now we can start adding tests and support for ES6 features \o/

Thank you @millermedeiros :)

[RaitoBezarius]

What about replacing esprima by babel (which supports more ES6 features afaik) ?
Is that possible? I can help, if it is not too complicated.
