Description
Hello,
I've been writing some ES6 modules, and I have been wanting to find a good ES6 validator to validate them with during my build process. I stumbled across this project, and gave it a try.
However, your CLI tool doesn't appear to support the import / export command:
user@local:~$ node_modules/.bin/esvalidate Utilities/Vector.js
Error: Line 228: Unexpected token
Here's that js file for reference: https://hastebin.com/kukebonupe.js
Thoughts?

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with node_modules/.bin/esvalidate Utilities/Vector.js and inspect the handling of ES6 import/export syntax in the CLI and parser entry points. Use the referenced Utilities/Vector.js example to verify that validation completes without the unexpected-token error.
