Description
https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-preset-env#usebuiltins-entry says:
> This option enables a new plugin that replaces the `import "core-js/stable"` and `import "regenerator-runtime/runtime"` statements (or `require("corejs")` and `require("regenerator-runtime/runtime")`) with individual requires to different core-js entry points based on environment.
Does it mean, that `import core-js/stable` relates to `require('corejs')` in the same way ES6-modules relate to commonJS, and are otherwise equivallent despite the semi-present *stable*?

Research direction
Start with the linked Babel preset-env useBuiltIns documentation and compare its descriptions of `import "core-js/stable"` and `require("corejs")`. Determine what distinction the documentation needs to explain, then update the relevant wording so the relationship and the meaning of `stable` are unambiguous.
