+Use the `--ecmaversion` option to indicate the ECMAScript version to parse. Must be either 3, 5, 6 (2015), 7 (2016), or 8 (2017). This influences support for strict mode, the set of reserved words, and support for new syntax features. Default is 7.

 Use the `--regexp` option to restrict matching further or to expand matching.
