For instance, if one simply requires the name of library, such as require('my-lib'), it would look for a module called "index.js" at the top level of "my-lib". It would be expect to work for requiring subfolders as well. Inspiration from http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.3.0/api.html#module-resolving-325

We just added support for the "main" property in package.json, so if my-lib/package.json had a "main: 'index.js'" line, this might already work. We could consider making the package.json reader (packaging.py) look for an index.js and use it as a default value for 'main' if not already set. Copying Irakli since he knows a lot about these things.

(Pushing all open bugs to the --- milestone for the new triage system)

Like bug 910594, this is needed for node parity

Note, there is ambiguity in filenames versus directories with index.js in them: - - start.js - womp.js - womp - index.js In this example, if I were to do `require('./womp')` from `start.js`, node would return `womp.js`, not `womp/index.js` -- just a note for implementation

In Bug 935109, node-style lookups were implemented in toolkit/loader under the `isNative` flag, for when we roll out the new AOM/jpm changes, and all addons using these new features
