Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Realms API ECMAScript Proposal (#542)

Just to make sure we get this point across, the goal is not to allow you to do all the things we do with dynamic import, the goal is to provide a low level api that allow you to implement such behavior in user-land. A good example of it was discussed in the last tc39 about the enumerability of the exported names, and how a program might want to iterate over them, and how you could do the same with this Realm API. Our answer to those questions is always the same: 

You will be able to achieve that with a little bit of preparation work if you know what you're importing inside the realm, in principle you can do that by creating a wrapping module that does the work, but in the future, proposals like module blocks will provide a lot of flexibility to describe this behavior inline.
