Description

Currently, the JS parser in the SBG does not fully support parsing the ES6 syntax. We should research what changes need to be made and implement them. One of the probably hardest scenarios would be supporting ES6 class extending.

Research direction

The issue does not name a parser file, entry point, or test. Locate SBG's JavaScript parser and its existing syntax tests, then research the ES6 constructs that are unsupported, including class inheritance. Done means the parser handles the agreed ES6 cases without regressions.
