«built-in CommonJS-based module loading framework»

I feel like this sort of project seems like a great place to try to get ES2016 modules working from day one, where users a little bit less likely to have existing code they need to run. I realize the Loader spec [1] is still not finished yet, but a project like this could be a good use case to help push it across the finish line.

Edit to add: I hadn't realized how old this project was, so some of this comment is clearly invalidated a bit.

How does svaarala do it? He's a one person coding machine. Fantastic work.

He is, which is a concern about the project's livability!

The code is pretty easy to grok. Well commented and supported by thousands of tests.
