Description

Browserify and I believe webpack support the browser field in the package.json for aliases. Any chance you could as well. I'm all about re-using existing config if possible :)

Research direction
To implement this feature, you need to understand how the browser field is used by tools like Browserify and webpack. Look at the browserify documentation and relevant source code (e.g., https://github.com/browserify/browserify). Then modify the plugin's module resolution to check the browser field in package.json. The plugin's source is at babel plugin module resolver. Start by examining the existing resolve function.
