/**
 * This file contains utilities for generating valid and useful webpack
 * configuration options.
 *
 * @see - https://webpack.js.org/guides/production/
 *
 * The webpack configuration in this project isn't structured exactly the same
 * as the webpack guide, but it's similar.  This `utils` file is similar to the
 * `common` file, the `clsp-player` file is similar to the `prod` file, and the
 * `demos` file is similar to the `dev` file.
 *
 * @todo - would it be easier / more readable to use `webpack-merge`?
