Shim for ES.next code?

Is anyone planning to collect the planned utility methods (Array.from(), String.repeat(), Object.getOwnProperties(), etc.) in a single file where each of the methods is conditionally added to the appropriate objects. If not, I would do so and publish the result on GitHub.

Compare: ECMAScript 5 shim. https://github.com/kriskowal/es5-shim/

There are many already I guess, e.g. pair of possible ES6 methods 
https://github.com/DmitrySoshnikov/es-laboratory/blob/master/src/es6.js, 
and also from any other framework (such as String.repeat).

What's the goal? None of discussed methods is standardized yet. But, if 
you think currently needed, just start to collect and implement them. 
You will implement just a library. Possibly users will start to use this 
library (exactly yours library, but not another form tones of), and then 
it can  turn out that ES will standardize another behavior for the same 
method, which will mean "break the web". There will be two ways -- 
either to standardize "yours" as de-facto standard (if it will be widely 
spread), or users of your shim will have to correct old code.

However, if some of methods are already 100% in the ES.next and their 
behavior is 100% accepted (in what I have doubts), then, yes, of course 
do it -- it will be good to have it collected.

Dmitry.
