Notable Changes

Experimental ESM Loader Hooks API

Node.js ESM Loader hooks now support multiple custom loaders, and composition is
achieved via "chaining": foo-loader calls bar-loader calls qux-loader
(a custom loader must now signal a short circuit when intentionally not
calling the next). See the ESM docs for details.

Real-world use-cases are laid out for end-users with working examples in the
article Custom ESM loaders: Who, what, when, where, why, how.
