A require function that defers actual reads until the first use of the required object
To use, run node with the --harmony_proxies and --harmony_collections flags.
deferredRequire = require 'deferred-require'
bar = null
deferredRequire.run ->
require 'foo' # no I/O performed
bar = -> foo() + 1
# later...
bar() # actually requires foo here, at first usage
Any require performed in a deferred-require block waits to perform I/O until the required module is first used. This is achieved via ES6 harmony proxies. If your top-level require is an irregular object such as an array, a Date object, or host object, you may encounter instability until V8 fully supports these kinds of objects.
