[feat] experimental-network-imports

[loynoir]

Suggestion

Suprisingly, found nobody feature request on network-imports, which

• has been deno builtin
• and part of nodejs experimental for a while.

$ node --help
  --experimental-network-imports
                              experimental https: support for the ES
                              Module loader

import { expect } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/chai'
// Cannot find module 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/chai' or its corresponding type declarations.

✅ Viability Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
