Haven't we done that with ES1-3 already? Users have had 15 years of

Closure's goog.extends(), Dojo's dojo.declare(), Prototype's
Class.create() (ironic, given the name of the framework!), JS.Class,
and CoffeeScript's class syntax. How many more cows do we need before
that path is ready for paving?
This doesn't look like a path at all. The cows are all over the place.
If we saw a lot of convergence, then I might say you have a good point.
If you can convince Closure, Dojo,Prototype, and the others to all do it
in the Same Right Way, then there would be a strong case to say that
ought to go into the language.
There is a difference between a cow path and a field of cows. We should
not attempt to pave the whole field, and we should be careful about
following too closely behind any one cow.
