I appreciate this thread as it has made me aware of the CommonJS effort
which is of dear interest. I will certainly continue there, however I
simply want to contribute the work I have done to find the ECMAScript
way to manage packages and classes. For reference, and whatever value
it may have, this is a bare-bones implementation which matches what you
propose:

Source: http://support.livesite.net/products/es/es1.js
And should there be any further interest, you can see a bit of what I
have built upon this system:

If the point is to prevent pollution of global code, the proposed
module system solves that more securely since it can prevents 3rd
party code from doing anything nasty. There is also a related package
system they are discussing:

I've been burned in the past by bad libraries using this idea, so I'm
weary of it admittedly.
Peter Michaux wrote an excellent article on the subject here:

Though I don't agree with his solution of using an underscore naming
convention, I believe he does justice in defining the problem.
