Description
I've noticed an issue in IE11 whereby the geocoder won't load unless polyfills exist for all the missing APIs which exist in it.
It's worth noting that Mapbox GL itself is transpiled correctly for this scenario.
Rather than relying on consumers of my component to polyfill their site, it might be worth addressing these issues.
I believe the exact error is from the Object.values/entries Array.from/.forEach family, but I don't know for sure due to the minification.
Is there a notion of browser-support with this library?

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the geocoder load failure in IE11 and inspect the transpilation and browser-support configuration, focusing on the suspected Object.values/entries, Array.from, and Array.prototype.forEach APIs. Done means the geocoder loads in IE11 without requiring consumers to provide the missing polyfills.
