Modules are being prototyped in the near future, so there's nothing drastically
less realistic about depending on some spec draft provision. It could change,
but you could also bootstrap it in JS and not even wait for the concurrent
module system prototyping to get that far.

No, that is the "use the module system" idea. We need to agree on how the
system loader, or the system modules, are reflected into legacy script without
injecting new globals. Object.system as the system loader reference is one
idea. Then you might wire up Object.system.load("@g11n"...) or whatever the
right module loader API is.
