We don't support custom syntax that isn't already a proposal (meaning it has potential to be in JS), and we also encourage using presets like https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env instead of providing your own configuration of plugins unless you are more of a power user.
It's our intention as a tool to align with TC39 and transition users to using native JS when it's supported
