By any chance, could there be a simple way to get parts of the codebase to essentially treat each other as external? e.g. pretend that each folder index entry point...

I started trying to figure out how to implement this by mirroring dynamic imports e.g. [here](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/blob/cd5597d0964305a5d910342ac790fc38cbe7f407/pkg/api/api_impl.go#L1451) and [here](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/blob/cd5597d0964305a5d910342ac790fc38cbe7f407/internal/ast/ast.go#L22). I also started trying to detect the `new Worker(...)` AST pattern at...

So, I've spent a lot of time on figure out workarounds, and if you're all-in on ESM then I think the following is the simplest solution with clear semantics that...

@evanw What are the chances that `esbuild` could support `new URL("./worker.js", import.meta.url)` as in this? ```js // index.js const workerURL = new URL("./worker.js", import.meta.url); const blob = new Blob([`import "${workerURL}";`],...
