Description

Hello,

is there a listing somewhere that list supported builtins when converting AS3 to JS ?

so I'm not only talking about `Object`, `Boolean`, `Number`, etc.
but also about classes like `Dictionary`, `ByteArray`, `Proxy`, etc.

and related to that what are the "supported features"
or simply which version of JS does it support? ES3? ES5.1? ES6?

for ex: with the AS3 `String` class
can I use the `trim()` method if I know the target will support ES5.1?
see [MDN String.trim()](http://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/Trim)

other ex: what about statements like `as`, `is` ? or using namespace?

It is already great we can use E4X and `Vector`, but I'm just trying to get a 10000 feet view of the language support (if you can call it like that?)
