The property of "which parser is appropriate" applies to a file, rather
than a directory. Thus I could imagine:
```
System.metadata['\.js$'] = {
format: 'module'
};
System.metadata['\.jsm$'] = {
format: 'global'
};
```
This strategy would allow module loaders to paper over the differences
created by not having a standard extension.

This is equally true for many features added to ES6.
