We don’t use the browser’s native module resolution system, so `<script type="module">` with imports and exports won’t work as you expect.

Instead, you can create an initializer in a Discourse theme/plugin, and use that to run the `loadSprites()` code.

It’s for hosting environments where the same CDN domain is used by multiple Discourse forums.

Indeed… it is not supported. You are very likely to run into other issues.
