process: add process.getBuiltinModule(id)
process.getBuiltinModule(id) provides a way to load built-in modules
in a globally available function. ES Modules that need to support
other environments can use it to conditionally load a Node.js built-in
when it is run in Node.js, without having to deal with the resolution
error that can be thrown by import in a non-Node.js environment or
having to use dynamic import() which either turns the module into
an asynchronous module, or turns a synchronous API into an asynchronous one.
if (globalThis.process?.getBuiltinModule) {
// Run in Node.js, use the Node.js fs module.
const fs = globalThis.process.getBuiltinModule('fs');
// If `require()` is needed to load user-modules, use createRequire()
const module = globalThis.process.getBuiltinModule('module');
const require = module.createRequire(import.meta.url);
const foo = require('foo');
}
If id specifies a built-in module available in the c...
