Why not simply the proposal a little. It would be nice to be able to export
top level etc. but I think there is a clear danger there. What if instead
of trying to make arbitrary scripts into modules, we just did the loading,
making sure the script was loaded before running the code that depended on
it. ES5 relies on global scope, and so would this. Instead of allowing:
import "jQuery1.3.2.js","MyModule.js" as MyModule;
Maybe just allow something like:
import "jQuery1.3.2.js"
import "MyModule.js"
$(......).attr(......)
Those scripts would still be executed in the global scope, and so this
module would be able to access $. It would be extremely easy to wrap this
way as well. Otherwise, you'd still need to worry about actually loading
the dependency, no?
