[Iced3] ES2015 modules support

See original GitHub issue

Hello there, a little question.

Since version 1.11 CoffeeScript supports ES2015 import and export syntax by producing an import or export statement in the resulting output. We have to add a layer of transpiler like babel or target ES6 to make it work, just like Iced3. But in Iced3, with babel, when I use the import syntax I get error: reserved word 'import'.

Is the IcedCoffeeScript codebase moving away from CoffeeScript on this point ?

Ok, should be live in v111.1.1

That’s a lot of 1s!

Big thanks to @zapu who did all of the work.

Yes, but I just remembered that ES6 modules in CoffeeScript forces the bare option, because otherwise the whole code is wrapped in a top-level function anyways. So by doing ES6 import/export, it has to “undo” that behavior. I think there was even a discussion about this in CoffeeScript repo on GitHub. In our case, forcing bare also makes it not include the require('iced-runtime') in the code.

Thank you for going through all of this, I think there are few places that we can make improvements in Iced.
