Description
I think the current experimental ESM loaders don't currently support specifying multiple loaders by repeating the flag (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39913) so the approach of this package for specifying multiple loaders doesn't work yet.
Was it intentional that it doesn't currently work and it was implemented this way in preparation for when specifying multiple loaders is supported?
By the way, I found [`@node-loader/core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@node-loader/core), which seems to be a loader that chains multiple loaders internally. Might be of interest!

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how the package handles repeated Node ESM loader flags and compare that behavior with Node issue #39913 and the linked chaining approach. Done means either supporting multiple loaders when Node permits it or documenting the intentional limitation and expected usage.
