Reflect string versus boolean

[guybedford]

There has been some discussion about whether we should use a string reflection type in dynamic import or rather have a import reflection specific boolean.

Currently we support:

const mod = await import('./mod.js', { reflect: 'module' });

But the alternative would be support:

const mod = await import('./mod.js', { module: true })

and remove any reference to the reflect key or guidance for how other specifications should interact with it. I'm personally open to whatever works best here.

I think if the word “reflect” appears anywhere, it needs to appear everywhere - meaning, dynamic and static import syntax need to use the same words.

I'm not really sure about using "reflect" in this context, as the module isn't necessarily instantiated here at all, and therefore there isn't a thing that is being "reflected".
