I was wondering about that. Greg, re your example where you said:

In the latest Babel the above code fails to run on the first line of app.js

What does the *spec* say should happen in that situation? (You've clearly
been into it in some detail.) As opposed to what Babel does, since of
course Babel while excellent is working with some limitations...?
