This is used by the modular compilers, so it unblocks more "real" blaze integration, and allows the language repo to create examples that you can actually run. Note that this also actually enables macros when the experiment flag is passed in to this entrypoint.

The frontend_server package is used by both the flutter command line tool and the frontend_server_client package (used by webdev and package:test).
API Stability
Changes to the command line API or behavior should be tested against the follwing test suites (in addition to normal HHH testing):
- flutter_tools: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/packages/flutter_tools
- frontend_server_client: https://github.com/dart-lang/webdev/tree/master/frontend_server_client
Otherwise these changes will need to be carefully coordinated with the flutter tooling and frontend_server_client teams.
This API stability does not cover any of the source code APIs.
Stable subset
- The frontend_server kernel compilation and expression evaluation for kernel should be considered "stable".
- The frontend_server JavaScript compilation is semi-stable, but clients should anticipate coordinated breaking changes in the future.
- The frontend_server JavaScript expression evaluation is experimental and is expected to change significantly from Dec 2020 through the end of 2021.
- Specific flags like the --flutter-widget-cache may be added for experimentation and should not be considered stable.
