Build throws syntax errors for ES6+ code even when transforming back to ES3 #89
Description
Look like this is a recurring issue but I wanted to open this anyways.

It is my understanding that by adding optimizeOptions with languageIn/languageOut (which are also defaulted) the Closure Compiler will transform the ES6+ code to an earlier version of ECMAScript.
When we do this, it looks like in the process of the build, there is a util/build/transform/depsScan to see if the module and its deps are "Pure AMD" BEFORE the transformation of langIn -> langOut happens.
Is it absolutely necessary to keep the order of the gates as is, or can we reorder them so that the transformation to ES5- happens first and then the AST depsScan happens next?
Is there a status on how to solve this issue? Or should I just live with all the console errors and ignore them since what is a syntax error is being transformed anyways?
