Current behavior

TypeScript compilation is currently limited to the target option by tsconfig.json

Expected behavior

I'd like to compile TypeScript with the target: "esnext" option and let babel do the rest (or compile it completely with babel and only use the fork checker to do the type checking).

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

The JavaScript plugin is properly respecting the browserslist settings while the TypeScript plugin is not.
