 * `modules` - Enable transformation of ES6 module syntax to another module type (Enabled by default to `"commonjs"`).
   * Can be `false` to not transform modules, or one of `["amd", "umd", "systemjs", "commonjs"]`.
 * `debug` (boolean) - `console.log` out the targets and plugins being used as well as the version specified in `/data/plugins.json`.
+* `whitelist` (Array<string>) - Enable a whitelist of plugins to always include. (Defaults to `[]`)
+  * Useful if there is a bug in a native implementation, or a combination of a non-supported feature + a supported one doesn't work. (Ex: Node 4 supports native classes but not spread)
