Can you use ES6 modules in vue config yet?

[martixy]

What problem does this feature solve?

It's the new decade (almost) and config still relies on ancient CommonJS module syntax.

Is it possible to use the new(ish) ES6 modules in the config instead?
In webpack you can use webpack --config-register esm.

Is a similar feature in vue-clie yet?

(Related: #4477)

What does the proposed API look like?

Same as webpack? I don't know, just pipe config-register back to webpack?

ES6 modules are still experimental in the most recent versions of Node.js.

Dang. I got confused by this page:
https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html

Turns out I should be looking here:
https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html
