Hi, Consider this: We execute script A, which loads script B, which defines a function f that loads script C. B does not calls f, but A does. Is C loaded relative to A because f is called from C or is C relative to B because f is defined in B? The former should be rather easy to implement in v8, but is not suitable to load library functions. The latter requires more work. Given the current priorities of the v8 team it will probably take a while (if ever) for this to become a focused issue, especially since d8 is not supposed to be a fully-fledged shell to begin with. We do accept contributions though!
