+/**
+ * This file includes polyfills needed by Angular and is loaded before the app.
+ * You can add your own extra polyfills to this file.
+ *
+ * This file is divided into 2 sections:
+ *   1. Browser polyfills. These are applied before loading ZoneJS and are sorted by browsers.
+ *   2. Application imports. Files imported after ZoneJS that should be loaded before your main
+ *      file.
+ *
+ * The current setup is for so-called "evergreen" browsers; the last versions of browsers that
+ * automatically update themselves. This includes Safari >= 10, Chrome >= 55 (including Opera),
+ * Edge >= 13 on the desktop, and iOS 10 and Chrome on mobile.
+ *
+ * Learn more in https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/browser-support.html
