# Summary | ||
|
||
Brief explanation of the feature. | ||
|
||
# Basic example | ||
|
||
If the proposal involves a new or changed API, include a basic code example. | ||
Omit this section if it's not applicable. | ||
|
||
# Motivation | ||
|
||
Why are we doing this? What use cases does it support? What is the expected | ||
outcome? | ||
|
||
Please focus on explaining the motivation so that if this RFC is not accepted, | ||
the motivation could be used to develop alternative solutions. In other words, | ||
enumerate the constraints you are trying to solve without coupling them too | ||
closely to the solution you have in mind. | ||
|
||
# Detailed design | ||
|
||
This is the bulk of the RFC. Explain the design in enough detail for somebody | ||
familiar with Babel to understand, and for somebody familiar with the | ||
implementation to implement. This should get into specifics and corner-cases, | ||
and include examples of how the feature is used. Any new terminology should be | ||
defined here. | ||
|
||
# Drawbacks | ||
|
||
Why should we *not* do this? Please consider: | ||
|
||
- implementation cost, both in term of code size and complexity | ||
- whether the proposed feature can be implemented in user space | ||
- the impact on teaching people Babel | ||
- integration of this feature with other existing and planned features | ||
- cost of migrating existing Babel applications (is it a breaking change?) | ||
|
||
There are tradeoffs to choosing any path. Attempt to identify them here. | ||
|
||
# Alternatives | ||
|
||
What other designs have been considered? Why did you decide against those? What is the impact of not doing this? | ||
|
||
This section should also include prior art, such as whether similar projects have already implemented a similar feature. | ||
|
||
# Adoption strategy | ||
|
||
If we implement this proposal, how will existing users adopt it? Is | ||
this a breaking change? How will we minimize disruption to existing users? | ||
Can we write a codemod? Should we coordinate with | ||
other projects or libraries? | ||
|
||
# How we teach this | ||
|
||
What names and terminology work best for these concepts and why? How is this | ||
idea best presented? | ||
|
||
Would the acceptance of this proposal mean our documentation must be | ||
re-organized or altered? Does it change how Babel is used by developers | ||
at any level? | ||
|
||
How should this feature be taught to existing users? | ||
|
||
# Open questions | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
This section is optional, but is suggested for a first draft. | ||
What parts of this proposal are you unclear about? What do you | ||
need to know before you can finalize this RFC? | ||
List the questions that you'd like reviewers to focus on. When | ||
you've received the answers and updated the design to reflect them, | ||
you can remove this section. | ||
If you plan to implement this on your own, what help would you need from the team? | ||
