Description

The spec describes an alternative for embedded the nested source map sections by providing the URL to the source map.[1] Currently source-map only supports map in sections.

See https://github.com/mozilla/source-map/issues/16 for the original issue and https://github.com/mozilla/source-map/pull/127 for the basic implementation of sections.

Research direction

Add support for section entries that provide a URL instead of an embedded map, with behavior matching the specification and existing map sections.
