We need this but for node_modules

The novel trick here is splitting up huge binary files and treat them as if they were many small files.

Node_modulea is already tons and tons of files, and when they are large, they are usually minified and hard to split on any "natural" boundary (like elf sections/symbols etc)

checkout pnpm, it stores each version of package only once, and setup your project's node_modules with symbolic to the exact cached version
