thanks for the pointer - will do that.

i still think that it makes little sense to require adding dependencies on core
functions as in "mw.user", "mw.options" etc. 

it can also creates problems for things in site common.js, and personal
common.js.  these do not have the dependency mechanism, so they are left with
the need to package parts of themselves in "mw.loader.using()", just in order
to gain access to username. most people will take the easy way out and will
revert to using wgUserName - exactly the opposite of what we want to happen. 

to summarize: i still think it's a bug, even though the dependency mechanism
offers a solution for gadgets, IMO this solution is a "bug workaround" rather
than a legit answer, and it does not provide solutions for site common.js and
personal common.js

peace.
