Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] import.meta.resolve() (Issue #746)

Right now import maps are always inline and cannot be loaded. It's unclear whether that will change in the future; implementer interest is low, although I personally think it'd be nice.

In such a future, it would return the current value. It would not throw. It's not clear whether the current value would be considered "wrong"; if you do `import.meta.resolve(x); import(x);` while an import map is being loaded, the `import()` statement will import the same URL returned by `import.meta.resolve(x)` (i.e., the current value).

If an author needs to wait for import maps in such a future, it depends on how we expose external import map loading, but probably the simplest way would be to wait for that import map `<script>` element's `load` event.
