Hot replace component when a require is updated

[syranide]

I imagine this may be technically prohibitive, but I don't really know so:

If a component uses say require('file?./myimage.png') and the file is updated, the component is not hot-replaced. Whereas the same action for CSS-files causes them to be hot-replaced.

I wonder if file-loader has HMR handling code.

I don't think we can do anything about it, if you'd like please file it in file-loader.
