"Extends" property about reboost HOT 3 OPEN

I always thought that they can do it using Node JS modules. For example

// resolve.config.js
module.exports = {
  // Resolve options
}

// babel.config.json
{
  "plugins": ["some-plugin"]
}

// reboost.js
const { start } = require('reboost');
const BabelPlugin = require('@reboost/plugin-babel');
const resolveConfig = require('./resolve.config.js');
const babelConfig = require('./babel.config.json');

start({
  resolve: {
    ...resolveConfig,
    // If I want to override `extensions` option
    extensions: myExtensions
  },
  plugins: [
    BabelPlugin(babelConfig)
  ]
})

So do we really need that option?

You are absolutely right! We do not really need it! You may keep it as a low priority sugar syntax for the spread operator in future when all other high priorities will have been settled down and you'll wonder what else small features can be added to "improve/develop" the project. I have seen that "extends" property is often used by other packages, too.

Yeah, you are right! Leaving this issue open.
