Please describe the bug

Started getting this error.
node_modules/micromark-util-decode-numeric-character-reference/index.js 23:11 Module parse failed: Identifier directly after number

Tracked it down to here:
https://github.com/micromark/micromark/issues/161

I feel the attitude of the developers over on Micromark is absolute crap.

I came back to our project, and downgraded your library to version "4.15.9", and everything started compiling fine again.

So apparently, Micromark is some new dependency for you guys?... you might think twice leaning on them based on their attitude to people who are just reporting the issues the library is causing.

Do you see any errors in console log?

No response

How to reproduce the issue?

1. Include "botframework-webchat": "4.16.0", in your project
2. Build your project with any version of webpack 4.
3. Boom! The build blows up in your face.

What do you expect?

I would expect the project to continue to build successfully using your latest version.

What actually happened?

Previously, we had relied on ^ to automatically upgrade your library. It seems your most recent version introduces a requirement (thanks to MicroMark) for WebPack 5. That's a pretty big dependency change and should probably be marked with a major version upgrade.

Do you have any screenshots or recordings to repro the issue?

Additional context

No response

Start with the reported failure at node_modules/micromark-util-decode-numeric-character-reference/index.js:23:11 and reproduce it by installing botframework-webchat 4.16.0 and building with webpack 4. Compare that result with version 4.15.9, then check the linked micromark issue for the dependency change. Done means the latest package builds successfully with webpack 4, or its compatibility requirements are explicitly documented.
