Update code to use ES2015 syntax
BREAKING CHANGES

Update code to use ES2015 syntax (6d9d8c036ba65a5438709ecafdbac559c34b49d0)

Throw on non-string arguments and replace the caseInsensitive function with an option (65d397ba75569038535beb20a6aed7dc875ea5f7)

naturalCompare() now throws if either of the first two arguments are not a string.

Also, the naturalCompare.caseInsensitive() function has been removed. Pass {caseInsensitive: true} as the third parameter to naturalCompare() instead.

Replace naturalCompare.alphabet with an alphabet option (6048bab3150ecbbc6b91660c061f3620d9b222b9)

naturalCompare.alphabet no longer exists for setting a custom alphabet. Use the new alphabet option instead.
