Support for plugins

[dawnerd]

Proposing adding support for a function that will allow a plugin to add/override methods without having to use a long extends chain.

It could look something like this:

ajax.js

export default class Ajax {
  get(url, data) {
    //...
  }

  post(url, data) {
    //...
  }
}

app.js

import Ajax from './Plugins/ajax.js';
Domodule.registerPlugin(Ajax);

Not sure how we'd handle constructors though.

You think this would be helpful?

I've read that before and in the case of react and other huge frameworks it makes a lot of sense. For us though I think something more along the lines of http://matthijshollemans.com/2015/07/22/mixins-and-traits-in-swift-2/ makes more sense (implemented something like https://gist.github.com/lukescott/36453a75c39c539f5c7d at least until es7).

This would also allow us to break up the core class, something we can't really do right now.
