Decorators will offer some semantic sugar for wrappers, but that shouldn't stop us from employing the pattern already in order to get better tree shaking results.
Yea, I already saw that the other day. They had to get rid of the whole metainformation thing and put that into a different proposal, but tbh. that's probably for the best. And from the transcript of the presentation, it seems like there's going to be a bit more feedback from the browser side in the future as well. Who knows, a first implementation in chrome might be right around the corner :D
That will be a lot easier if and when decorators make it into the language.

@darkwiiplayer decorators just reached Stage 3, reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/t... so we can you it already with babel, of course

Use Typescript if you want to work with decorators already
There is also a babel plugin if you don't want to use TS for whatever reasons.
In any case, decorators are just semantic sugar around the wrapper pattern.
