Description
The old `gulp-sourcemaps` had a `loadMaps` setting to control whether existing maps should be loaded. Gulp 4 has a single setting in `gulp.src` which controls *both* enabling sourcemaps and loading existing ones.
This cause issues for me when npm packages ship their bundle files with a sourcemap while they don't ship their original source code at the same time (and so they have sourcemaps pointing to non-existent files). For such cases, I'd rather have my own source maps point me to their bundle file (that I know about) rather than to their source code (that I don't know about).
I would be great if this feature could be available again.
