I think it'd be interesting and useful to have some

See http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/old-es4/rationale/units.html
(and everyone, please help disambiguate by using "program units" when
talking about the other units, the kind included in ES4 as proposed:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=proposals:program_units ;-).
Waldemar's write-up there in the old-es4 doc-tree references Dav
Raggett's Spide (http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/
bibliography.html#spice), worth a read too.
It's just an idea but I think it'd be incredibly
useful in the future for designing advanced web applications.
At this point, as the overview says, we are not taking new proposals
for ES4. Units are tempting to consider for a future Edition, but
IIRC Waldemar had some unsolved problems in his design. It would be
good to hear from him, if he remembers the details.
