Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-658:
----------------------------------------
I'd say the additional code is well worth it.
I hadn't thought about relative require, but I think that will also not be so
hard.
And I'd suggest again that "the conceptual module name space root" should be
the ddoc, so we can require things outside of ddoc.modules.
If we say that the root is ddoc.modules then we are suddenly giving a weird
sense of security guarantees (some crazy person might get the idea that data in
eg ddoc.secret can't be accessed from shows and lists, or something...)
I think if we fail hard when someone tries to require("views/foo/reduce")
that's just fine, although it'd be nice to give a helpful error message.
