Rational behins Global and Globals #9
Description
I very much like this project!
Use it often, but unfortunately I aways have to look at the source code when I'm working with it.
Why are Globals and Global two modules?
An example which I struggle with:
open RescriptBun
let exportData = Bun.file(Path.join2(Globals.import.meta.dir, "export_data.json"))
if !(await exportData->Bun.BunFile.exists) {
Console.log("export_data.json not found")
Process.process->Process.exitWithCode(1)
}Finding Globals.import.meta.dir is tedious.
Adding open RescriptBun.Globals after open RescriptBun leads to
this open statement shadows the value identifier import (which is later used)ReScript(44)
when using import.meta.
Would it not make sense to merge Global and Globals and export importMeta to avoid the duplicate name?

IIRC I modelled it after how the TypeScript d.ts types was structured. Very much open to suggestions though, and there's plenty of stuff I'd like to change for ergonomics as well. The
Errorconstructor is another thing that conflicts with opening the globals here.If you want to take a stab at the issue you're talking about here, as well as any other things, please feel free! I'd be happy to see this worked on. I'll eventually get back to it as well, but it might be a little while.

@nojaf looked at this again. Maybe worth doing something about this? Mull on it and make sure the structure makes sense, and if not, change it.
