Description

Hello,

I'd like to use this tool with the esbuild's --bundle flag in order to bundle all sources of differnet module formats into one

however, this doesn't seem to be supported

is it possible to add esbuild CLI flags support?

Research direction
The issue requests adding support for esbuild CLI flags like bundle. Examine register.ts to see how esbuild is currently invoked via the API. Add a way to forward CLI flags as options, possibly by parsing them in the register function. Check comments for workarounds using require.extensions.
