So nice! I have not used ES6 and the (class x extends y) technique. I am 
wondering about browser support for this. How good is it?

Humm... FWIW, for some reason I also really like the simple array based 
method I am using now.

Yours is easier to read, but for me using foo[0] for x, foo[1] for y, 
ect looks more matrix like wrt indexing into an array; its not all that 
bad to my eyes. Also, it makes iterating over the elements really intuitive.
