You got it.

I do have a package for godebug. If you want to run all the tests, it goes in 
to the `scripts` module and runs `npm install` to pull in various test 
dependencies: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/blob/master/scripts/package.json

But running just the "test-go" target seems like a good compromise for now! 
Maybe we can revisit this once node packaging in Guix is in a better state 
(which esbuild may help us with.)

I'll send my godebug package and an updated esbuild package with the code to 
run the tests.
