I did not know that it was that easy to plug in new functionality in the
module loader. With this new information it seems very doable to package an
application with Rollup (and have the benefit of their tree-shaking and
other goodies), and then write a new module loader that can load the few
native add-ons it cannot handle (and a wrapper around the stuff that
Rollup has generated, that first loads this new module loader).
I will do some experimentation tomorrow and see if I can get it to work for
our project.
