Combining babel and eval leads to a syntax error in eval

[blazzy]

Eval works as expected when I attempt a simple console.log nesh -e 'console.log("hello world");'.

But if I introduce the babel flag nesh -b -e 'console.log("hello world");', the eval blows up with the following error:

Error in plugin eval:

Here is the version info on launch with the babel flag Babel 5.8.25 on Node v4.0.0.

And the output of nesh --version is nesh version 1.6.0. The latest version as of this post.

I'm having the same issue. Any update on this?

Perhaps related to #44 that also fails to combine babel and eval?
