Stabilizing experimental.importGlobRestoreExtension

[patak-dev]

experimental.importGlobRestoreExtension

• Introduced in vite@3.0.0
• Original PR
• Not documented

  /**
   * Append fake `&lang.(ext)` when queries are specified, to preserve the file extension for following plugins to process.
   *
   * @experimental
   * @default false
   */
  importGlobRestoreExtension?: boolean
  

• It seems it is only used by vite-plugin-ssr (Code Search)

Starting a discussion to gather feedback to see if we should move this feature out of experimental in Vite 5. If we do so, it could be moved to a config like metaGlob.importRestoreExtension. I think an object would be good if we later want to add include/exclude.

FYI, the upcoming vite-plugin-ssr v1 release will likely not need this anymore. That said, I think it's a worthwhile addition as it gives a lot of flexibility to framework/library authors. (E.g. RSC may need this because it needs more than two module graphs CC @nksaraf.)

So I'm thinking, if it saves us time, then we can leave it as-is, and stablize it once someone needs this in the future.
