Currently you have to compile import statements to requires before running this loader. It would be nice to lift that restriction.

What this loader should actually be doing, is looking for files which load a particular module, e.g. "handlebars/runtime" and should insert the "plugin" modules afterwards, e.g.

const Handlebars = require("handlebars/runtime");
// other require statements

should be transformed to

const Handlebars = require("handlebars/runtime");
require("../path/to/handlebars-extras.js");
// other require statements

I messed up and commit the actually implementation in my first commit instead of have a placeholder commit to make a PR against.

The goal of this webpack loader is to implement the same semantics as the "plugins" option in third_party_js.py in webapp. This is accomplished by appending require statements to the module being loaded. Which modules are loaded by these new require statements is specified as a comma separate lists of paths in the loader's query parameter.

The test plan for 95c5134 is:

• npm run test

@jeresig could you have a look at that commit and let me know if you have any concerns?
