New test: Ability to convert node-style import to a http url

[Jack-Works]

import React from 'react'

tools may output:

import React from 'https://cdn.pika.dev/react@16.3.1'

This seems like a DX feature to me. I don’t see how end-users benefit from this. If anything, it seems to me that it will impact loading performance negatively on average.

Maybe Benefit from cdn?

Ideally the dependencies sit on the same CDN as the app itself to avoid having to set up an additional connection. So the end-user benefit of this feature is very tangential, I think.

Going to close this as we don’t include DX features for now, but we can come back to this in the future if we ever start evaluating DX.
