This reminds that I still don’t know what is the story of 
imports.searchPath (or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or $PYTHONPATH, etc.) 
in the ES6 universe. Is there such concept in the standard or is 
it actually implementation dependent (that would be bad, IMHO)?

I think with 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=694100&hide_resolved=1 
getting shorter and shorter (and particularly 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=568953&hide_resolved=1 
is even shorter) there should be some discussion on the future 
of GJS in view of the emerging ES6 developments (also classes, 
etc.).

Best,
