You are completely correct, but there is a LOT of legacy files, some of which have multi-level require's, and I'm not going to update them all at one time. It would take too much time and be too dangerous.

This way all the developers here can gradually "modernise" code as they go without breaking older code.

Could the original required file be changed to just have the "use module" statement. So all the files that require the old file now are "use"ing the module along with the exports.	[reply]
