Related to #4

The example from the README uses globals like JSON which are expected to be already available when the module is instantiated. I don't know if that's the case, but even if it was: what about expressions in general?

Something like

const Something = ...;

import "xx" as Something;

would not work because Something has not been initialized yet.

Possible alternatives:

import "xx" as "something";
// or
import Something from "something";
import "xx" as Something;

Will it be possible to pass additional arguments to the Symbol.importer method? This could be necessary in order to support some Web Assembly use-cases (#3) where someone wants to pass an importObject to the underlying WebAssembly.instantiate().

The tricky part here is to figure out in which phase of the module graph initialization Symbol.importer would get executed.

Super initiative to refresh the whole HTML Imports!
However, to really copy the behavior of HTML Imports, the inline script tags should execute upon loading of the HTMLModule. This is not the case in this implementation or am i missing something?

I really like the approach taken here..

Hey @AshleyScirra , super cool concept. We're wondering if you plan on continuing with development, or what other solutions to this problem you've come across.

We've got a ton of polymer 3 elements we've created and it would be super cool if we could use something like this to code split out the individual parts. Since you've coded this I'm guessing you have thought about the problem quite a bit. Could we get some of your thoughts? Right now we bundle everything with webpack using static ES6 imports.

Hey @AshleyScirra 👋,

I really like your proposal. I think this would allow us to substitute webpack loaders in the long run.

Another use case I see (and I was surprised not to find in the README) is Web Assembly support:

import {myRustFunction} from "./my-rust-function.wasm" as WasmModule;

where WasmModule would do the WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming() dance.

Would do you think?
