this is difficult: auto strict mode compounds the problem, but the automatic introduction of module scope reqs upfront info

then let's send someone to tc39 to make the point that strict mode modules is a deal breaker.

unforch it wouldn't be enough, even still. we'd need non-top-level {im,ex}port also so we could safely use our module wrapper

I'm coming around to the idea that dropping auto-strict (and allowing early return) would alleviate the need for sideband info

mostly, a few keywords to not be reserved https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-future-reserved-words … and need to be able to change `this` value

which pretty much removes a lot of the module goal's ... goals

how important is 'this' to node modules? I dont get the impression many rely on it.

node's `this === module` in CJS modules, ES modules have `this === global`. I can dredge up people using `this`
