Web Workers can now access more than standard lib?

So going through the docs there is still a note that Web Workers can only use the standard lib.

I suspect this is no longer the case though since the adapting the fib_worker function in the docs to store the results in anvil_extras indexed_db as per below seems to work just fine. Was this updated during the Background Sync release?

from anvil_extras.storage import indexed_db
results_store = indexed_db.create_store("results")

def fib(num):
    global store
    a, b = 1, 0
    i = 0
    print(worker) # worker is a global object injected into worker module
    while i < num:
        a, b = a + b, a
        i += 1
        worker.task_state["i"] = i

        # Store the value in indexed_db
        results_store[i] = a 
    return b

I think it should really say that it can't use anvil modules. But I think it can use some of them, or at least I remember writing partial implantations of some of the modules.
Any pure python code in the app or dependencies should be ok. Anvil-extras being one of them.
