Lazy mode feature to reduce development build times.

The idea from Parcel Lazy mode

In development, it can be frustrating to wait for your entire app to build before the dev server starts up. This is especially true when working on large apps with many pages. If you’re only working on one feature, you shouldn’t need to wait for all of the others to build unless you navigate to them.

Would be nice to have the "lazy" way to defer building files until they are requested in the browser, which can significantly reduce development build times. The server starts quickly, and when you navigate to a page for the first time, plugin builds only the files necessary for that page. When you navigate to another page, that page will be built on demand. If you navigate back to a page that was previously built, it loads instantly.

@halitak,

Thanks for the suggestion!
I need to check whether this can be achieved using Webpack's own features (e.g. experiments.lazyCompilation) and do some experiments. If it works well with the plugin, I’ll consider adding a guide or example to the documentation.
