Description

This is related to object rest/spread (#1588) but for JSX instead.

Unfortunately, the official draft JSX specification at http://facebook.github.io/jsx/ does not mention JSXSpreadChild yet.

However, we can find some information at its corresponding repository https://github.com/facebook/jsx/blob/master/AST.md:

interface JSXSpreadChild <: Node {
    type: "JSXSpreadChild",
    expression: Expression
}

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested JSXSpreadChild node with the object rest/spread work in issue #1588 and the JSX AST.md definition in the linked repository. Trace the existing JSX parsing entry point and verify that spread children produce a JSXSpreadChild with its expression represented in the AST.
