Environment

The inlang environment contains functions that are injected by the host application (e.g. the browser or VSCode).

These functions are prefixed with a $ to distinguish them from user-defined functions. The inlang environment is required because functions such as import() behave differently from environment to environment (NodeJS, Browser, VSCode, Electron).
