+/**
+ * This task creates shims for the submodule entrypoints, for the
+ * benefit of bundlers and other build tools that do not correctly
+ * support the exports declaration in package.json.  These shims just
+ * require() and reexport the corresponding *_compressed.js bundle.
+ *
+ * This should solve issues encountered by users of bundlers that don't
+ * support exports at all (e.g. browserify) as well as ones that don't
+ * support it in certain circumstances (e.g., when using webpack's
+ * resolve.alias configuration option to alias 'blockly' to
+ * 'node_modules/blockly', as we formerly did in most plugins, which
+ * causes webpack to ignore blockly's package.json entirely).
+ *
+ * Assumptions:
+ * - Such bundlers will _completely_ ignore the exports declaration.
+ * - The bundles are intended to be used in a browser—or at least not
+ *   in node.js—so the core entrypoint never needs to route to
+ *   core-node.js.  This is reasonable since there's little reason to
+ *   bundle code for node.js, and node.js has supported the exports
+ *   clause since at least v12, consideably older than any version of
+ *   node.js we officially support.
+ * - It suffices to provide only a CJS entrypoint (because we can only
+ *   provide CJS or ESM, not both.  (We could in future switch to
+ *   providing only an ESM entrypoint instead, though.)
+ *
+ * @param {Function} done Callback to call when done.
