Sven, It's hard to disagree, with what you say. The main goal I'm trying to
achieve is to split these classes/objects into separate source files to
make them readable, navigable and intelligibl. We can consider simply
splitting it into separate files and concating them with some build tool or
maybe updating them to ES6 or next and transpilling to ES3. Another option
to consider is a Flow typechecker.

What I really want is to open a door for further development and
improvement non necessarily  serious modification right now straight away.

P.S. I proposed TS just because I personally like it.
