1.4.0

[matthewp]

Steal 1.4.0 will be centered around an improved ability to run Babel plugins and possibly decorators.

I'm leaving off the ability to transpile non-import/export code for now as the API isn't ready. #768 (comment) is meant to start the discussion about what the API could be for that.

[matthewp]

Not necessarily for this milestone, but it might be nice if there was a way to tell Steal to load the .babelrc and use that for configuration (as opposed to using babelOptions).

[BigAB]

That would be a nice to have. Of course you could probably only look in the root directory for it though, except for the build where I suppose you could do the thing where it looks up the directories until it finds a .babelrc or a package.json with a babel option

I 100% in favor of this. I also think that both babelOptions and .babelrc should be able to exist in the same directory.

I am not sure which one should take precedence, but we should inform that the user that both exist in the directory, AND which one steal is going to be using.

This will compensate for the idiocy of users like myself who will forget what they configured.

If we decide the babelOptions should take precedence, then we should add a config option in babelOptions that allows me to say "Use the .babelrc file located here".
