@eemeli Is this supported by any browser? I was expecting to see a text key in the browser compatibility section of each of the places you added the addition - such as https://pr43505.review.mdn.allizom.net/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import/with#browser_compatibility

This is important because MDN only documents things that are available in browsers (though not necessarily released).

I'm (very) happy with the docs updatd. I've added request changes though, because we shouldn't merge this until the corresponding browser compatibility data has merged. Can you link that in the description?

[hamishwillee]

@eemeli As per my last comment, is it in any browser? If so the corresponding browser compatibility data should be updated and we can look at this/gt it in.

[eemeli]

Ah, sorry, lost track of this earlier. I've been working on a Firefox implementation, which I'm hoping to land into Nightly next week. So no, this feature is not yet available in any browser.

[hamishwillee]

Thanks @eemeli ! I've converted to draft so it falls off my review queue. Can you please reenable once the feature is in nightly. It is OK if you forget because likely I'll end up with the MDN release tasks when we get to FF152 anyway.
