Actual Behavior

when using monaco-editor like this:

import {editor} from 'monaco-editor';

and bundle code with webpack and monaco-editor-weback-plugin, webpack bundles all features and languages.

Plugin correctly works if use import from editor.api.js:

import {editor} from 'monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.api'

But that behavior also unexpected.

Expected Behavior

should bundle only features and languages specified in plugin options

Confirm the bundle contains only the configured features and languages, while preserving the documented import behavior.
