suggest dynamic import() as a viable alternative to importing ESM

[dtinth]

• Docs

Some server packages that I use are ESM-only and do not work properly when bundled (and instead gives this very cryptic error).

Moreover, they depend on some 3rd-party polymorphic package. When imported directly inside Node.js it works, but when bundled, it errorneously imported the web implementation instead. I spent hours trying to get the bundling to work without much success. Then I thought, what if I just import() this? It works!
