Tooling: Task Runner Explorer: gulpfile.babel.js tasks not listed

Steps to Reproduce

File --> New --> Project --> ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core)
Rename _gulpfile.js_ in Solution Explorer to _gulpfile.babel.js_
Click the Refresh icon in TRX

Notice that TRX doesn't display any of the tasks in the default Gulp file:
gulp_no_tasks

Now, rename the file back to either _gulpfile.js_ or _gulpfile.ts_, refresh TRX, and the tasks are again displayed in TRX:
gulp_tasks_listed

I'm using VS 2015 Update 2.

Almost one year later, but today I tried to load a gulp file called gulpfile.babel.js and didn't show up on the task runner explorer. Anybody found walk around to use gulp with ES2016 support?

I'm using VS 2015 Update 3.

Thanks!

Hello Team, I'm interested in this for a current project.

Has there been any progress?
