Do you mean, are you (or all of us working on Ecma TC39 standards) going to
make Globalization name an ES6 module? But that doesn't seem necessary. Users
should declare
module G11N from "@g11n";
or
import {foo, bar, baz} from "@g11n";
and name the module in whatever scope they want.
If we try to pre-declare the module and force the name to "Globalization", then
I agree with Erik -- not only are we making it hard to polyfill for v2 when
running on G11N v1 -- we are stepping on a name that may be in use.
