title: Is there a way to turn on ES6/ES7 syntax support in vscode?
body: <p><strong>Edit 3:  Starting in version 0.4.0, ES6 syntax can be turned on by adding a <code>jsconfig.json</code> file to the project folder with the following contents:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "compilerOptions": {
          "target": "ES6"
      }
  }
  </code></pre>

  <p>Tried @sarvesh's suggestion- overrode <code>javascript.validate.target</code> and restarted vscode.  Didn't help.</p>
