Syntax error with ES6 shorthand properties

See original GitHub issue

The following input file (test.js) contains shorthand properties:

let a = 23;
let b = 42;
exports.o = {a, b};

Node.js can handle them:

$ node --version
v6.6.0
$ node
> require('./test.js')
{ o: { a: 23, b: 42 } }

However, loading the obfuscated file raises a syntax error:

$ javascript-obfuscator test.js --output obfuscated.js
$ node
> require('./obfuscated.js')
/home/ralf/git/test/obfuscated.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { var _0x8065=['\x6a\x6f\x69\x6e','\x73\x70\x6c\x69\x74'];(function(_0x18a2d3,_0x168483){var _0x427e21=function(_0x18c5bd){while(--_0x18c5bd){_0x18a2d3['\x70\x75\x73\x68'](_0x18a2d3['\x73\x68\x69\x66\x74']());}};(function(){var _0x655c94=function(){return'\x64\x65\x76';};!Function('\x72\x65\x74\x75\x72\x6e\x2f\x5c\x77\x2b\x20\x2a\x5c\x28\x5c\x29\x20\x2a\x7b\x5c\x77\x2b\x20\x2a\x5b\x27\x7c\x22\x5d\x2e\x2b\x5b\x27\x7c\x22\x5d\x3b\x3f\x20\x2a\x7d\x2f')()['\x74\x65\x73\x74'](_0x655c94['\x74\x6f\x53\x74\x72\x69\x6e\x67']())?[]['\x66\x69\x6c\x74\x65\x72']['\x63\x6f\x6e\x73\x74\x72\x75\x63\x74\x6f\x72']((+0x20)['\x74\x6f\x53\x74\x72\x69\x6e\x67'](0x21)+(+0x65)['\x74\x6f\x53\x74\x72\x69\x6e\x67'](0x15)[0x1]+([![]]+undefined)[0xa]+(![]+'')[0x2]+(!![]+'')[0x3]+'\x28\x74\x72\x75\x65\x29\x7b\x7d')():Function('\x61','\x62','\x61\x28\x2b\x2b\x62\x29')(_0x427e21,_0x168483)?[]['\x66\x69\x6c\x74\x65\x72']['\x63\x6f\x6e\
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,

After replacing the shorthand properties in test.js with {a: a, b: b}, things work fine.
