What is the current behavior?:

Fragment short syntax breaks the parser.

yarn run v1.6.0
$ yarn run extract:messages && yarn run extract:pot-c
$ react-intl-cra ./src/**/*.js -o translations/generated-translations.json

What is the expected behavior?:
Extract messages works even if the solution uses the shorthand syntax for React Fragments.

Suggested solution:
Update dependencies? No idea. Babylon package says it's now at "babel/babel as @babel/parser" -- don't know if that one works with the shorter syntax though.

I got the same Unexpected token issue. Although my problem is that it wasn't parsing Typescript interface properly without semicolons.

any update on this ?
will the shorthand syntax be supported ?
thanks !
