ES doesn't impose many constraints on the string content of a module
specifier but in practice it maps fairly directly to a URL per
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#hostgetimportmetaproperties
so filename is probably broadly available.
Would this use the filename from the module specifier or from the URL
(assuming import.meta.url)?
IIRC, only the module specifier is available within ES currently.
The translation between specifiers and URLs (if that happens) is up to a
host callback (HostResolveImportedModule) and does not surface inside the
ES engine.
That import.meta.url exists is up to another host callback so assuming it's
existence might require constraining host implementations of
HostGetMetaProperties(?).
What would this do when import.meta.url/specifier has a query part, or that
look like a non-hierarchical URL?
export ** from "path?foo=bar";
export ** from "?foo=bar";
export ** from "data:application/javascript+module,export default null;"
Does anyone know if existing CDNs use the path component for something
other than the path contributed by the uploader and expect the original
filename in the query, like
host.cdn/path/to/tarball?p=path/within/tarball.js ?
