>  write a Babel plugin

As far as I know, the plugin architecture to Babylon, Babel's parser, is
not open, and the parser cannot be extended.
What is open to regular people is the ability to write Babel plugins to
analyze or transform the AST.
The only alternative for new syntax at the moment would be to fork Babylon.
Let me know if you know something I don't.
