Upgrade to ES6

[FrogTheFrog]

Hello,

so I've been writing types for snapdragon itself, but it is a little too complicated to write by hand. I decided to copy/rewrite (also fix some bugs along the way) js code into typescript and compile js and d.ts files. I've got some proposals/questions:

1. Can I upgrade classes to ES6 classes? I've noticed that they are used for some snapdragon extensions. With typescript compiler I can generate both ES6 and ES5, so why not choose ES6?
2. Can I remove legacy code from utils? Methods like pushNode and etc., which are no longer present in snapdragon-node itself?
3. While I already know that you're not interested, it doesn't hurt to ask, but maybe you would like to use typescript :D ? It has many advantages over typescript, however it also has minor annoyances, but I still have no regrets after deciding to migrate to typescript.

I'm 85% of the way finished with a refactor that uses e6. Otherwise, I'd say yes! Thanks!

The original intent was to provide shims for methods so you could create your own Node class if you wanted.

but maybe you would like to use typescript :D

lol yeah, it never hurts to ask. I like typescript, but I'm not a fan of maintaining code that has to be pre-compiled. In my experience as a maintainer, more contributors will stay involved if it's plain javascript.
