I mean that a javascript library would act as a gate to live-compile Javascript files on-the-fly.
For example, with ES6-Module-Loader[1], you can do something like this in your browser :
<script>
System.import('mymodule').then(function(m) {
new m.q();
}).catch(console.error.bind(console));
</script>
'mymodule' can be an uncompiled ES6 module, the code will still work fine, because ES6-Module-Loader will get its content (XHR), resolve its dependencies, then pass everything to Traceur.
Obviously its main use is for debug purpose (since it does a request for each source file, which won't be great until HTTP 2), but it allows to have a full ES6 workflow, without any visible compilation pass.
