I'm from the JS side as well, so I'm glad to see this question! Are you
imagining something like the following? We should probably start by imagining
why someone would want to require cljs this way and if it would even make sense
to:
```
require('cljs!./src-cljs') // return all goog.provided namespaces?
require('cljs!./src-cljs/foo/core.cljs') // return a single goog.provide
namespace?
```
Either way I think it would need Closure Compiler to return a single asset for
each require statement, if I understand webpack correctly.
It's worth mentioning that the recent "node-jre" package allows users to
install/use the full cljs JVM compiler in its fully glory through npm without
any external dependencies, which I've tested here: https://github.com/cljs/tool
I think it's possible—just unsure of webpack use-cases. Thoughts?
