 > 1. The naming consideration raised in the discussion on
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/5818

 Yeah, this needs fixing. Thinking these https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/pull/5818#issuecomment-1887867378 are quite better.

 > 3. Is it desirable or possible for a module to depend on a non-module
 script, or vice versa? Should it be?

 I'm "on the fence" on this but thinking perhaps not for now. A JS module
 depending on jQuery? Seems a bit like like mixing apples with oranges? :)
 Really want to see some "real life" examples of how that would work, and
 how useful it may be. Also should this even be needed in PHP or can it be
 done better in the browser/with JS? Modules are loaded as either `defer`
 or `async`, so any hard-coded "old-style" JS (that is outputted before any
 modules in the HTML head) will always be available to them.
