Ah, I bet some of these problems are fixed in #3312, as the deps I've been tinkering with appear to have been bumped and fixed in that PR. Also, it looks like stuff missing from Prim could be fixed by that PR, as it's moving them from lib to compiler (if I read it right).

The other question I have is about tests -- do we need to have some tests written to assert this? If you ask me, I don't think it's necessary.

Yeah, everything will be failing until we finish with #3312, that's the problem with #3309 too.

The tests will be subject to the changes you've made here already, so no, there's no further specific tests I can think of that will be necessary :)

Here's why I want this patch, BTW. https://www.screencast.com/t/KgVyC3ksG or https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnIo6jtaL-CjkG-zDxXZxVHIc-8s

No need to add a bundle or transpile step PureScript code during development -- just refer directly to the single PS module and the dependencies will be dynamically loaded. (Yeah, SystemJS does transpile, but it seems to be much easier to get started with, I think.)

The bundling step is often a hurdle for Haskell people coming to PureScript. Yes, tooling like pulp --to x.js can help with that, but it complicates the project set-up. Also this patch to the compiler doesn't break anything and is a benefit-only change -- it adds the ability to very easily use SystemJS in-browser loader instead of a server-side bundler.

Thanks!
