Ignore directives for imports-first

[lemonmade]

We currently use a custom directive at the top of most JavaScript files. imports-first requires that any imports come before this line, but doing so means that it is no longer treated as a directive. I'm wondering if it would be possible to add an option to imports-first to ignore directives (which should be pretty easy to detect, even though I don't think ESLint exposes them as such). Basically, I would love something that lets the following pass:

'expose Foo'

import MyThing from './somewhere'
// ...

but continue to fail anything that is not a directive appearing first:

doSomething();

import MyThing from './somewhere'
// ...

I'm happy to take a stab at this if it's something you are interested in. Thanks!

Ah, makes sense. Hadn't thought about that before considering modules imply strict mode.

A PR allowing directives (which I guess is defined as an ExpressionStatement containing a string Literal) would be welcome. 😄

Cool, I can definitely do that. Do you want this as an option or as the default behaviour? Any preference for an option name if you want it as an option?

I think it makes sense to always allow directives, until someone says otherwise.

I'm struggling to imagine why you'd want to report pragmas/directives, and if that day comes it's easy to add an option.
