ECMA 6 support in Nashorn

Question

I just tried out Nashorn and it seems not to support Array.prototype.fill. Is this surprising? Is there a timeline somewhere for Nashorn's intended support? Is the best way to get an array of say 5 0s in Nashorn currently Array.apply(null, Array(5)).map(x=>0)?

This documentation would have me believe that you can get ES6 even in Java 8 by using -Dnashorn.args=--language=es6:

Indeed, I managed to get some basic ES6 support from Clojure (adding :jvm-opts ["-Dnashorn.args=--language=es6"] to project.clj), though I was still not able to load the library I wanted, so there may indeed still be pieces missing.
