Oh, I understand this question better. To clarify a bit further: the module
loading API returns the first-class module instance objects, rather than
statically known modules. The code would actually look like this:
ml.load("a1", function(m) {
// in here, m is just an ordinary variable
// bound to a first-class object that reflects
// the contents of the module loaded from "a1"
...
});

There are explanations and examples of first-class module instance objects on
the wiki, but to be fair some of the details are a bit out of date (in
particular the scoping semantics has changed a bit). Updating the wiki is
towards the top of my to-do list.
