Yes, certainly. To some extent the module declaration syntax provides you
enough to do this already:
<!-- my configuration table -->
<script type="harmony">
module M1 = "m1.js";
module M2 = "m2.js";
...
</script>
But it might be nice to crystallize this in a restricted special form so
browsers can reliably prefetch:
<script type="harmony">
module table {
M1: "m1.js",
M2: "m2.js",
// ...
}
</script>
