Inline Requires Webpack Plugin
PoC for inline requires with Webpack.
This is INCOMPLETE and its implementation is TERRIBLE. I'll improve it if I can verify that the idea is worth pursuing.
Motivation
I learned the idea of inline requires at Making instagram.com faster: Code size and execution optimizations (Part 4). Instagram is using Metro for bundling, and Metro seems to be using inline-requires Babel plugin in fbjs for inlining require()s.
I can't use the Babel plugin that works with CommonJS modules because I want to use ES modules for tree shaking—I wonder how Instagram is eliminating dead code, but probably they have their own solution. This Webpack plugin inlines __webpack_require__() calls after Webpack understands ES modules so that it doesn't break tree shaking.
