Question about graal.js import resolution in polygot context [was Re: Graal embed documentation not in place]

[Jerven Tjalling Bolleman]

Dear Graal devs,

I am really pleased with how smooth this experiment is going. Those 
snippets already helped a lot.

My first question is how are js imports resolved/supported inside a 
Graal.js/polyglot instance.

e.g.

Context context = context.create("js");
context.eval("js", "import {x} from 'y.js'");

currently it fails with.

SyntaxError: Unnamed:474:0 Expected an operand but found import
import x from y.js;out.print(render(taxon));

Suggests it is not (yet) supported.

This is not something that will block me from further experimentation 
but working imports would be nice to have.

Regards,
Jerven
