(There is no spec on "System", just rumors that it will be a predefined,
global instance of Loader).
As far I know the only way to use the es6 module loader without exports or
imports is to set values on 'this', the global object. I guess it's not
very different from using IIFE (function() { this.foo = 2; })(); vs a
module containing the body of the function.
