I agree. Are there any proposals to add the capability of creating new top-level "scopes" (contexts?) and running a script in them, such that something like CommonJS modules could be implemented in user-land code? I imagine it as something like HTML5's importScripts() function (available to Workers only), but it would run the script (a single script) in a newly created top-level scope, and return that scope as an object from the function itself.
