Hi Joey,

I'm very glad to see this and I think it should be standardized by TC39.
However, it should not be standardized as "part of the language", and so
would result in a document distinct from Ecma 262. A good model is the way
the internationalization track is proceeding.

Rather than create an entire new track just for source maps, I think this
goes hand in hand with the need to standardize a debugging API. I suggest
both be bundled into one new track.
