Description

Hi there!

I'd love to use the `jekyll-babel` plugin since I'm creating some WebComponents for my theme. Now, from what I've understood is that `jekyll-babel` takes all JavaScript files and convert them to plain old JS.

Unfortunately, this does not work in case of WebComponents. There we need at least ES5 to make things work. How can I configure your plugin so it transpiles to ES5?
