ES6 arrow functions are going to solve the problems with “this” scoping inside event handlers.

Ideally I would prefer to have a constructor instead of createdCallback(), and “attach”, “detach” and “attributechange” events instead of the other lifecycle callbacks. The constructor idea was already discussed here for a long time [1], but if I understand correctly it wasn’t approved due to performance issues.
