How do we install package name maps? Node.js context about import-maps

[matthewp]

This proposal doesn't (currently at least) cover automatic extensions or searching for modules in multiple directories. Node might want to extend this proposal with their own custom properties, but I hope they don't! cc @bmeck for his thoughts here.

Given that we have loader hooks I would probably suggest we leave this up to a userland loader for some time.

I don't think the proposal will ever cover searching, that's something we need to actively avoid.

Let me close this, as the spec won't be the one deciding this, but instead the Node.js team. Perhaps @guybedford or @MylesBorins know the right place to direct @caub to see where any ongoing discussions are happening?
