Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2016-06-27 12:15:06 EDT 
ECMA 2016 (7th edition) has been approved already.  We need to support all the new changes.

http://www.2ality.com/2016/01/ecmascript-2016.htmls

1) Make sure the parser can handle the new syntax
2) Provide a unique problem id and quick fix if ES7 code is encountered when project is configured for ES5/ES6.
3) Add tests to ensure occurrences/outliner/assist/validation work

Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2016-06-27 12:40:24 EDT 
The good news is that acorn supports the new exponentiation operator (**) is the parser is set with ecma version being 7.
Comment 3 Olivier Thomann CLA 2016-06-27 12:48:42 EDT 
The exponentiation operator support is on line 2648 in acorn.js. Line 1281 doesn't mention 7 for the "supported" values. This should probably be adjusted.

var defaultOptions = {
  // `ecmaVersion` indicates the ECMAScript version to parse. Must
  // be either 3, or 5, or 6. This influences support for strict
  // mode, the set of reserved words, support for getters and
  // setters and other features. The default is 6.
  ecmaVersion: 6,

I'll open a pull request against acorn for this.

We can open a similar pull request to Tern to add an ecma7 definition.  All it will contain is Array.prototype.includes.  I've already written a possible implementation.
