Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with webpack 5 and the inline option in the configuration, then trace how workerize-loader handles that option. Done means the worker is inlined without also producing a separate hash-named .worker.js file; the issue names no files or tests to start from.

Description

Hey,

When using webpack 5 and the inline option (in the config). It seems like the worker is inlined and a separate [some hash].worker.js is produced. Simply deleting this worker.js file works fine (since the actual worker that is used is inlined). Just annoying to have to delete it every time i want to publish. Is there any known workaround for this?
