As I move from machine to machine, it would be nice not to have to install all the libraries I use over and over again. I'd like to be able to do something like this:
import http://module.org/someLib as someLib
If the requested module itself does local imports, the implementation would first try to resolve the names on the client machine and otherwise make requests along remote relative paths.
If would be nice if implementations cached these http requests and did
If-Modified-Since requests on each compile. If the document at the URL has been modified it might show the diff and ask the user if it is appropriate to upgrade to the new version.
Does this make sense?
