transform-remove-console: Flow declarations as bindings

[fbartho]

Describe the bug

Using transform-remove console, I'm getting the following error when running the Metro Bundler for a react-native app:

transform[stderr]: 
transform[stderr]:         You or one of the Babel plugins you are using are using Flow declarations as bindings.
transform[stderr]:         Support for this will be removed in version 7. To find out the caller, grep for this
transform[stderr]:         message and change it to a `console.trace()`.

To Reproduce

Make a react-native project, configure a .babelrc like:

{
    "comments": false,
    "ignore": ["node_modules/(?!react-navigation)"],
    "presets": ["react-native"],
    "plugins": [
        "transform-flow-strip-types",
        ["transform-remove-console", { "exclude": ["error"] }]
        ["react-intl", { "messagesDir": "./lang/messages/" }]
    ],
    "sourceMaps": "inline"
}

Actual Output

See the above snippet.

Expected Output

No errors leaked out in the logs

Possible solution

[boopathi]

This error is not thrown by babel-minify.

It's interesting that it occurs only when transform-remove-console is used??
