On the subject of require and provide. I have a question which is "who
uses them?". I have seen lots of people say that they are so worthless
that they aren't good for much, I have seen lots of implementations of
"portable" compile and load drivers, I haven't seen much use of require
and provide.
Maybe we should either flush them or beef them up to the point that they
are really useful. Or perhaps they are useful and I just don't
understand how.
