pending clarity from WICG/explicit-javascript-compile-hints-file-based#10

The specification was updated on 2025-02-26 (last reviewed on 2024-10-14).

Also the clarity on scope now has a documented answer https://github.com/WICG/explicit-javascript-compile-hints-file-based?tab=readme-ov-file#faq

(FWIW, previous update comment was me testing the code in #1755)
