title: Starter create-react-app with IE11 polyfill import still aborts in IE11
body: <p>Using: react 16.8.6.
  Working in: Dev Mode.</p>
  
  <p>1) Do: npm create-react-app my-app</p>
  
  <p>2) cd my-app</p>
  
  <p>3) add: import "react-app-polyfill/ie11"; as the new first line in index.js</p>
  
  <p>4) do: npm start</p>
  
  <p>5) In IE11 on Windows 10 it aborts with these in the console:</p>
  
  <p>SCRIPT1002: Syntax error
     1.chunk.js (10735,34)</p>
  
  <p>SCRIPT1002: Syntax error
     main.chunk.js (154,1)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried other polyfills:</p>
  
  <p>import "react-app-polyfill/ie9";</p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p>import 'react-app-polyfill/stable';</p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p>import 'react-app-polyfill/ie9';
    import 'react-app-polyfill/stable';</p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p>import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11';
    import 'react-app-polyfill/stable';</p>
  
  <p>The location of the Syntax error changes, but it still happens.</p>
  
  <p>Works fine in all other browsers.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import "react-app-polyfill/ie11";
  import React from "react";
  import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
  import "./index.css";
  import App from "./App";
  import * as serviceWorker from "./serviceWorker";
  import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css";
  
  ReactDOM.render(&lt;App /&gt;, document.getElementById("root"));
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The abort happens immediately before the generated code ever loads. It gives the old 'White screen of death' in IE11.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone share the magic to get the 16.8.6 starter app to work in IE11?</p>
