Should be easy to do. Detect if lodash is used as a direct dependency and then add a new plugin? Not sure about the version or if we need to use the "latest version" package on npm to do that.

Research direction
Examine the babel upgrade codebase to find how it detects dependencies (likely in package.json or module resolution). Look for existing plugin addition logic, and replicate it for babel plugin lodash when lodash is a direct dependency. Address the version question by checking npm's 'latest' tag or using a fixed version. Consult the issue comments for any additional clarifications.
