in ES 6 we have a new way to write strings. In some ways, these more
powerful strings may condition some people to use ` as their main string
delimiter. An unsuspecting person may liken this to PHP's double quotes vs

Also: given that modules are implicitly strict, you will hardly ever use the
strict directive in ES6.

I don't see people using template literals for arbitrary strings... it

Sure, it's theoretical at this point
Given that `use strict` and `'use strict'` are both valid strict pragmas,
should `` `use strict` `` in the same position also be regarded as a valid
strict pragma?

No it should not. use string and 'use strict' are specially recognized
syntax. The *only* reason that they reuse the syntax of expression
statements, rather than being, for example,
use strict;
without the quotes, is so this pragma would be ignored on older pre-ES5
browsers without causing
