Any level of dynamic behavior for CJS require() in endo implemented on top of Compartment requires either preloading all dynamically requested modules or adding importNowHook - the synchronous version of importHook.
Description of the Design
Provide synchronous module loading facilities in SES by analogy to what already exists.
Security Considerations
TBD, none that I'm aware of.
Scaling Considerations
Test Plan
port some unit tests to synchronous flow
test with dynamic require in compartment-mapper
Compatibility Considerations
This will never work with top-level await anywhere in the tree starting at the specifier being passed to importNow.
Upgrade Considerations
We might have depended on a missing specifier causing a specific error from importNow (seems unlikely)
