Load an ES2015 module config file

I am writing a CLI tool where I want my end users to be able to write their config file in ES6/7/Next, how can I accomplish this?

Eg, my foo.config.js file:

import foo from './foo'

export default {  foo, someOtherOption: true }

Regarding require vs require-from-string: I think we should switch to using require directly unless we come up with some solid reasons not to.

The only one I think there was in the fast was that when you run across a JS config file, you end up having to look at it twice: once to see that it exists, then you require it and it gets read again. (As opposed to the other loaders, which try to read the file and parse it in one move.) But I don’t think that’s a serious performance, really, because the synchronous require call that duplicates a little bit of work only happens once and only if a JS config file is found.

So, to reiterate, if there aren’t better reasons than that to use require-from-string, I think we should cut the dependency and use require directly.

I’d like to contribute a vote to not bundling babel with comiconfig. webpack-serve is being integrated into some rather larger packages that have some prominent users that are frankly, a bit overly sensitive about package cost.
