  name: "A", // Define name of the module
  [aliases: ["alias1", "alias2"]] // alternate deprecated names exposed for this module
  [deprecated: true/false] // If deprecated, a global method "deprecated" is called is this module is used
}]

{
  "a.js": { // path to the file that you want to make requireable
    name: "A", // Define name of the module
    [aliases: ["alias1", "alias2"]] // alternate deprecated names exposed for this module
    [deprecated: true/false] // If deprecated, a global method "deprecated" is called is this module is used
  }
}

    new MultidefineLibraryWebpackPlugin(modulesToExpose, {
      deprecationMethodName: 'deprecated' // global method name to call to notify deprecated usage
