Description

Admittedly, I'm not an expert on how this is supposed to work, but I know that you can run Typescript via node -r 'ts-node/register' as well as run tests via mocha -r 'ts-node/register'. But this is much slower than esbuild/estrella...

Any suggestions on how to do this with Estrella? It would be a nice feature if its simple enough to build.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how estrella currently handles command line arguments and passes them to esbuild. Investigate if similar 'require' options exist in esbuild or if estrella can be extended to pass inline require flags to node/mocha when running tests. Look at how estrella executes test commands and consider adding a configuration option for additional require modules.
