HTMLCommentOpen stops working in .js files

[bmeck]

Strangely, HTMLCommentClose (-->) appears to work.

// entry.js
<!--
require('@std/esm');
require('./a')
-->

// a.js
<!--
-->

Thanks @bmeck, I think?

Whoah HTMLComments valid in Node?
This may be an acorn limitation.

[bmeck]

HTMLComments is valid in all Script goals

[jdalton]

Ah, related to tc39/ecma262#949 and acornjs/acorn#572.
It looks like they aren't allowed in module code (or don't have the same meaning).

[bmeck]

Correct, they are not valid in Module code, but this is hitting all .js files not ones in the Module goal

[jdalton]

Ah, 👌 !

Fixed by 65cc9cf.
I'll be adding a round of unit tests over the next couple of days to solidify support.
