Description
Describe the feature you'd love to see
I'd like to do something like if (myDevCondition) initDebug();, so I can have different output files where that condition is either true or false. I know I could do require('preact/debug'), but that wouldn't translate to pure esm, as it would mean I'd need to process the if out of the code, which currently isn't yet possible.
Maybe initDebug from preact/debug/src/debug.js could be exposed somehow?
Additional context (optional)
In my libraries I'm using preact as a dependency, so people don't necessarily import it themselves.
closest issue I find is https://github.com/preactjs/preact/issues/1746 which suggests to "just use require", which probably works on pages, but not really on libraries

Research direction
Start by reading preact/debug/src/debug.js and compare the proposed approach with issue #1746. Define how initDebug could be exposed for pure ESM consumers and library dependencies, then confirm that callers can produce different output files based on a development condition without requiring CommonJS processing.
