[FeatureRequest] rename `.default` method

Brief

strictOptions can not be trigger under require("yargs").default

Background

official document

// x.ts
import yargs from 'yargs'

// tsc output x.js is something like
const yargs = require("yargs").default

Expected

require("yargs").default(["bar", "-a", "10"]).strictOptions().argv

// Error
Options:
  --help     Show help                                                 [boolean]
  --version  Show version number                                       [boolean]

Unknown argument: a

Actual

require("yargs").default(["bar", "-a", "10"]).strictOptions().argv

// Error is not trigger
{
  '10': undefined,
  _: [],
  bar: undefined,
  '-a': undefined,
  a: undefined,
  '$0': ''
}

Workaround

// y.ts
import * as yargs from 'yargs'

// tsc output y.js is something like
var yargs = require("yargs");

Still think might be better to rename .default. So, when missing "esModuleInterop": true, error is raised instead of silent failure.

@karizma @bcoe Anyway, thanks for your reply. Wish you have a nice day. 😃

@loynoir, as @karizma says you should be able to use .defaults, rather than default, and work around your compilation issue.
