Description

Not sure which project to file this bug under.

I made a demonstration repo -- https://github.com/nichoth/breact/blob/broke/src/index.js . This is the branch that uses esmify + babelify, & it doesn't work. The only difference between it and the main branch is that this one uses `import`, and the other uses `require`

Running the build script return this error:

> SyntaxError: /Users/nick/code/breact/src/index.js: Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled (7:12):

The `main` branch uses `require` statements instead of `import`, and it works.

Research direction

Start with the demonstration repository's src/index.js and compare the broke branch with main, then run the build script to reproduce the JSX syntax error. Trace how esmify and babelify handle the import-based entry point; done means the import version builds successfully without the reported experimental-syntax error.
