Subject: Why is require still a function?
From: ingwie2000@googlemail.com (Kevin Ingwersen)

Hello there.

I have seen an implementation of nodejs=92 require function - but it =
needed to use a variable-function ($require(string $name)) instead, =
because =82require()=91 is given.

My questions are:
- Why is require still also available as a function?
- Why can=92t re re-define something like that?

Kind regards, and thanks! ^^=
