This implements the ESM Phase Imports proposal, which in turn allows Wasm to define support for
new Worker(module)andimport(module)wheremoduleis an instance ofWebAssembly.Module.The corresponding HTML integration PR is available in whatwg/html#11152.
We carefully define the difference between rooted and unrooted modules (those checked in the registry by the source phase, and those that are dynamically compiled with user sources / "evalish"), and then we define registry identity and include the URL in the transfer process for rooted modules.
Registry identity in the ESM Phase Imports proposal is based on the
ModuleSourcesEqualconcrete method which is implemented for WebAssembly Module Record allowingimport(module) === import(module)equality for rooted sources and through structured clone transfer. For more info, this topic has been covered extensively in the last TC39 meetings for the ESM Phase Imports proposal.
