Interpreting CommonJS modules in ES6 environments

gistfile1.md

Question - should import {fs} from 'fs' be supported for CommonJS module loading from ES6?

If it is to be supported, we would effectively define the fs module object in the ES6 registry to look something like the following:

var fs = require('fs');
var _fs = {};
Object.keys(fs).forEach((p) => _fs[p] = fs[p]);
_fs.default = fs;

new Module(_fs) // this is taken to be the module in the registry

This way I can import from the CommonJS module with default and named export syntax:

import fs from 'fs';
import {readFile} from 'fs';

We can choose to support this or not. But it would be great to get agreement.

I don't understand the (p) => _fs[p] = fs[p] part. Why not just:

var fs = require('fs');
fs.default = fs;
new Module(fs)

@sheerun it's to allow named exports too. Otherwise you would only have the default export.
