Nicolò Ribaudo fb9a752262 Function sent (#5920)
* Create "babel-helper-wrap-function"

It contains the logic to wrap a function inside a call expression.
It was part of the "babel-helper-remap-async-to-generator" package, but
it is needed to transpile "function.sent"

* Create "babel-transform-function-sent"

It transforms the "function.sent" meta property by replacing it with
"yield" and making the generator ignore the first ".next()" call.

* "function.sent" is the last value passed to .next(), not the first one

* Disable exec tests on old node

* Fix flow error

* Add "transform-function-sent" to "stage-2" preset

* Do every trasformation in one traversal

* Test for "yield function.sent"

* [skip ci]

* Fix some typos [skip ci]

babel-plugin-transform-function-sent

Compile the function.sent meta property, used inside generator functions, to valid ES2015 code.

Example

function* generator() {
    console.log("Sent", function.sent);
    console.log("Yield", yield);
}

const iterator = generator();
iterator.next(1); // Logs "Sent 1"
iterator.next(2); // Logs "Yield 2"

Is compiled roughly to

let generator = _skipFirstGeneratorNext(function* () {
    const _functionSent = yield;
    console.log("Sent", _functionSent);
    console.log("Yield", yield);
});

const iterator = generator();
iterator.next(1); // Logs "Sent 1"
iterator.next(2); // Logs "Yield 1"
