## What it is
A Babel plugin that rewrites Lodash imports into cherry-picked per-method module imports, enabling smaller modular Lodash builds. It works with bundlers like webpack (via lodash-webpack-plugin) to reduce bundle size.

## Use cases
- reduce bundle size when importing lodash
- convert full lodash imports to per-method imports automatically
- cherry-pick lodash modules without manual imports
- optimize lodash builds in a webpack/babel pipeline

## When to choose
- you use Babel and import the full lodash package but only need a few methods
- you want smaller bundles without manually importing lodash/foo modules

## When to avoid
- you already import individual lodash methods directly
- you rely on lodash chain sequences, which are unsupported
- your project doesn't use Babel
