This sounds good; “main” is a horrifically overloaded and thus confusing name. |

This is a proposal for a new
import.meta.commandkey on import meta, exactly matching the definition ofimport.meta.main. NodeJS has had difficulty finding alignment onimport.meta.main(see nodejs/node#49440), primarily because of a lack of clarify as to what exactly it means.The name
commandis used here to indicate that this is the module that defines the POSIX-style command behaviour. The description has been further clarified to note that this is specifically only set for a process execution as well as for the top-level execution context in that process - workers, custom realms, other loader registries pointing to the same URL etc etc are therefore excluded from matching this condition (where perhaps a directprocess.argv[1]equality might.This PR is created in conjunction with the Node.js PR to introduce the behaviour.
