I'd say it is essential to progress that we defer such items. Right now we
need to focus on agreeing that a maximally minimal class declaration that only
includes methods is good enough for ES6. Once we accomplish that, we can get
back to future embellishments. It is even possible that some embellishment
might even be possible for ES6 but we can't get there if we don't first agree
of maximally minimal part.
