feature

It may be easier for developers to read and develop ES6 code while supporting having no additional dependencies for the user and no functional changes in production.

The only downside is that we'll have to have dev-dependencies which will have no effect on production versions of the app but will require additional maintenance.

I gave it some thought and as the only current maintainer on this repo this seems like an undue additional maintenance requirement at this point. Package dependence requirers constants updates (mostly security patches), some of which require fixing breaking changes. This can be reopened at a later time if there's a greater need or more resources available.
