Research direction

Start by reading the source-map repository's existing section support, the linked original issue, pull request #127, and the referenced source-map specification. Add support for section entries that provide a URL instead of an embedded map, with behavior matching the specification and existing map sections.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feat spec

The spec describes an alternative for embedded the nested source map sections by providing the URL to the source map.[1] Currently source-map only supports map in sections.

See https://github.com/mozilla/source-map/issues/16 for the original issue and https://github.com/mozilla/source-map/pull/127 for the basic implementation of sections.
