Given the following wrapper function over `require`
```inline fun <T : Any> jsRequire(name: String): T =
  js("require(name)")```
The JS output is something like:
```var name = 'something'
return require(name)```
The problem here is tools like esbuild do not analyze what `name` is, and thus don't correctly bundle the required dependency.
Is there a way to workaround this, that is _not_ unwrapping the `require` call?

Not sure if I understand what you're trying to do. In our project we just do this and it has been working fine for us

```external fun require(module: String): dynamic```

<@U4K8JER34> hey! The thing is I'd prefer to pass by a wrapper function instead of using the `external` directly.
That's because when switching to ESM, or whenever I need to workaround an inclusion issue, I can simply change a single point in my codebase.
