Description
I want to use node-jsonc-parser in a vscode extension and, per the guidance, I am using esbuild as the bundler. Unfortunately it doesn't work 'out of the box'; the internally required files (in src/impl/) are not bundled. I filed https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/1619 with esbuild. They explained the reason and suggested a work around, but also mentioned 'making the code (ie. node-jsonc-parser) more bundler friendly'.
I'd appreciate any advice on whether this is possible/straightforward to do, thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start with the internally required files under src/impl/ and read the linked esbuild issue 1619 for the bundler constraints and suggested workaround. Determine whether node-jsonc-parser can be made bundler-friendly, then verify that those files are included when the package is bundled for a VS Code extension.
