Looking at the
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:modules_examples:
module i18n from '@Globalization'
is how modules are going to work in the future.
What you propose in the mean time is to define Object.system.load(...)
method (Latest Chrome doesn't have Object.system, so that would need to be
defined too).
The load method could return a reference to the hidden global object like:
var i18n = Object.system.load('Globalization');
In our case, we already have v8Locale global so load would:
Object.system.load = function(name) {
if (name === 'Globalization') return v8Locale;
return undefined;
};
Am I getting this right?
