metadata flag. Files bearing a name ending in `_FIXTURE.js` should not be
interpreted as standalone tests; they are intended to be referenced by test
files.

All module specifiers used by Test262 begin with the character sequence `./`.
The remaining characters should be interpreted as the name of a file within the
same directory as the file under test. The contents of this file must be
interpreted as UTF-8-encoded text and supplied to the Source Text Module
Record's ParseModule abstract operation. The result of that operation must be
returned by the implementation-defined HostResolveImportedModule directly.

For example, consider a test file located at
`test/language/import/nested/index.js` with the following contents:
