please remove totally outdated and unmaintained mdx.maco

Subject of the issue

The official mdx-js documentation requests to install mdx.macro along create-react-app. However, mdx.macro has unmaintained and totally outdated mdx-js dependencies to version <1.0.0. The result is that several documented functions of 1.x+ do not work. It took me quite some time to figure this out. Unfortunately, the author of mdx.macro is unable to upgrade the dependencies. When trying to manually overriding the outdated dependencies, the generated MDX code doesn't work due to changes in the API before and after 1.0+.

Your environment

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Steps to reproduce

yarn install mdx.macro

Expected behaviour

Currently documented mdx features, such as inline components, to work.

Actual behaviour

Currently documented mdx features, such as inline components, don't work.

this is in progress at #589, if you want to do the finishing touches on the docs, a follow up PR would be welcome

[ChristianMurphy]

this is a duplicate of #365, closing this issue to consolidate the conversation over there.

I'm stuck because that PR example doesn't work for me when applied to my cra project:

Unexpected '!' in '!babel-loader!mdx-loader!./About.mdx'. Do not use import syntax to configure webpack loaders  import/no-webpack-loader-syntax

[ChristianMurphy]

The message you shared is a lint warning, not a webpack error.
So it may be, and probably is, working?

[thediveo]

It classifies as "Failed to compile" ... that's not looking like a linting issue.

Can we please have the conversation at #365 instead of both here and there?
