Perhaps, but I fear this will limit the usefulness of dynamic loading to
absolute URLs. If a programmer writes:
System.load("my-file.js", Module => { ... });
It's highly unlikely that they care about the URL of the page or the
baseURL of the current loader or any other "remote knowledge" like that.
It's just not modular : )
This is just like current browser behavior when you insert a `<script

: ) Yes, and that behavior makes loading anything other than absolute
URLs, um, "tricky".
