Would this be at all possible? Typically when using one of these systems for front-end development you end up with a single javascript file using RequireJS/CommonJS. So .js/.jsx/.coffee/.ts/whatever the extension may be, you end up with a single file in a single language. Could this be used as some sort of silver bullet to get Tern supporting these seemingly unsupported languages?

The trouble with supporting additional languages is A) parsing them
during editing, which requires a language-specific error-tolerant
parser, and B) properly translating file positions between
pre-compilation and post-compilation form. Neither are terribly hard
(source maps solve most of the problems in B), but they are quite a
bit of work, and no one has put in that work yet.
