es6console Support ES6 modules

The console is awesome! Would it be possible to add support for ES6 modules and imports?

I am wondering why would need support for imports, could you elaborate on your use case? Most of the time people would use the console to see a specific transformation of ES6 -> ES5 to better understand the inner workings of new language features.

You also have transpilers, e.g., TypeScript, and some language features only work when code is in multiple files, being imported as modules. Might be out of scope for es6console but I didn't find any other online JS / TS playgrounds that would support this easily so I thought I'd suggest it here :)

Ok interesting use case (which language features are these?). Unfortunately this would entail adding support for multiple files within this editor, which would be quite some work. Also the actual imports would have to be transpiled to the new import api, meaning we would have to build a custom transpilation step, again quite a lot of work.

Understood. Still, thanks for taking the time to respond, and es6console is already awesome (I didn't know about it in the sea of js fiddles, codepens etc., but I have to say it's very nice).
