Maybe add a comment that as an optimization, this does not include MainLoop but instead checks for it at runtime and does nothing?
Separately, I wonder if we can do better than this. We could in theory add a "weak linking" mechanism, that would add some code only if MainLoop was actually included. Though if it's complicated it might not be worth it.

Sadly I don't think we have such a weak linking mechanism today. The way I did it here I think is the closest thing we have to weak linking in JS code.

Rather than having code from e.g SDL, etc, in event loop code use a callback registration system.

Sadly I don't think the ? operator works like that (i.e. it doesn't work on top level things):

Indeed from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining:
Optional chaining cannot be used on a non-declared root object

Oh sorry. That is unfortunate, I wonder why it has that restriction.
