implicit require in node.js

playing with Harmony Proxy I came out with a simple snippet:

	var module = (function create(
	namespace, handler, module, Proxy
	) {
	// ------------------------------------
	// (C) WebReflection - MitStyle License
	// ------------------------------------
	// @dependency npm install node-proxy
	// ------------------------------------
	// var sys = module.sys;
	// sys.print("it works!");
	// var yet = sys.nonexisting.yet;
	// yet.doStuff();
	// ------------------------------------
	return Proxy.create({
	get: function (receiver, name) {
	if (!module.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
	var key = namespace ?
	namespace + "/" + name :
	name
	;
	module[name] = require(key);
	handler[name] = create(key, {}, module[name], Proxy);
	return handler[name];
	} else {
	return module[name];
	}
	}
	});
	}("", {}, global, global.Proxy || require("node-proxy")));

The aim of above snippet is to forget the usage of require ... here some example:

module.sys.puts("Hello implicit require");

var fs = module.fs;
fs.stat( ... );

It's compatible with nested namespaces too and if there are non JS chars in the middle ... well:

var Proxy = module["node-proxy"];
