Proposal: Add `NoSubstitutionTemplate` to `StringLiteral` Definition

[FERREIRA, ERIC B]

Some teams opt to use exclusively template strings in their code (see template 
literals are strictly better 
strings 
for some reasoning).

This is almost supported by ECMA, but for the fact that 
`StringLiteral` is 
expressly defined as either a single quote or double quote string, excluding 
`NoSubstitutionTemplate`s.

I contend that adding 
`NoSubstitutionTemplate`s
 to the definition of 
`StringLiteral` will bring 
the benefit of allowing teams to completely opt to use only template strings 
instead of mixing quote marks, while having very little risk or downside, if 
any at all.

`NoSubstitutionTemplate`s
 by nature are completely defined at "compile" time, essentially being exact 
same in functionality as standard 
`StringLiteral`s. Let's 
make it so in the grammar as well?

Re: Move es-discuss to discuss.webplatform.org?

[Eric B]

The main problem I have with mailing lists is that, unless I'm mistaken, I
cannot unsubscribe from specific threads.  As an example, The Tragedy of
the Common Lisp, or, Why Large Languages Explode is now 33 replies deep
and I really don't care about it at all and would rather not get spammed by
that thread.  Is there a way for me to unsubscribe from it currently?

If some other platform can keep the great features of a mailing list but at
the same time allow people to unsubscribe from spammy or not interesting
threads then +1 for that other platform.

Re: Re: Are ES6 modules in browsers going to get loaded level-by-level?

[Eric B]

So just to clarify, when browsers support es6 modules we will still need
some extra library to bundle the modules?  This would mean es6 modules are
only a syntactical addition and not something functional?

 Matthew, there are already tools for es6 modules + bundling (e.g. babel +
 webpack), or converting es6 modules to AMD (e.g. babel
 https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/modules/).

 Can you clarify what you mean about bundling? Unless I've missed
 something, the ES6 module system does not have a story for bundling at all.
 Of course formats can be invented in userland but I'm not sure that they
 are any easier to implement than say AMD's.  I might have missed something
 though, looking forward to your reply.
