Guy is trying to support an important path for JS developers to get to ES6
and adopt ES module loading: allow developers to mix ES6 and AMD modules.
He already supports loading AMD via ES6-loader. Now he wants to allow
that AMD code to depend upon ES6 modules. This allows AMD teams to
transition smoothly to ES6. He needs something like:
define(['a', 'b'], function(a, b) {
if (!(a instanceof Module)) a = { default: a }
if (!(b instanceof Module)) b = { default: b }
....
so his generated AMD code can accept ES6 modules.
