03/19/2024, 8:14 AMWe are using it primarily in the Core so we don't have to maintain the importmap manually. We needed to implement a way to avoid that, so we thought it might be useful to others as well, since we needed it anyway

03/19/2024, 8:20 AMOk I won’t spend too much time reading/learning about it for now then until or if I ever need it
