How to route programmatically in SveteKit 1.0?

SvelteKit 1.0 has been out for a very short amount of time as per this writing, and I've encountered something that is nowhere in the new documentation. How can I route programmatically in SvelteKit 1.0? Before SvelteKit 1.0 there was a solution to do this, like it's written in this stackoverflow question. There was a goto function that did this (and now this function is out of the framework). You would've pass a route like "/homepage" and the function would route your app to the homepage page. How can I do this in SvelteKit 1.0? I have found nothing until now.

goto still exists, but it is only usable in the browser (in an onMount callback, in an event handler, ...).

If you try to use it in the top-level of your page script tag it will be run on the server as well, which will not work as you might expect. You could e.g. create a +page.server.js file and use the built-in redirect helper to do a server-side redirect instead.
