Handling Optional Chaining operator #293
Description
We've recently encountered an issue where the Shift parser doesn't seem to handle ECMA262's Conditional Chaining operator (AKA null-aware accessor, null-aware invocation, Jackson Operator, and other names). Both version 2.0.4 of the JS parser and the online demo parser fail with the same exception on the following snippet:
const adventurer = {
name: 'Alice',
cat: {
name: 'Dinah'
}
};
const dogName = adventurer.dog?.name;
console.log(dogName);
Source: MDN
Example exception from the Java library:
Exception in thread "main" com.shapesecurity.shift.es2018.parser.JsError: JavaScript error: Line 8 Column 31 (Index = 104), Unexpected token ".".

This got me thinking, though, that other new language features may not be supported either. Is a new version forthcoming that will support these - but at least this one, since this is the one causing my organization a headache as of now - features?

Yeah, support for the latest features is not yet implemented, sorry. We do intend to support these but it may be a few months before we're able to get to it.
