Unload or ability to redefine a module? about vscode-loader HOT 3 OPEN

Another solution to being able to redefine a module would be to use a local AMDLoader ModuleManager. Right now the loader is defined to be global (AMDLoader is defined in global scope and not inside a function enclosure). Adding a parent function enclosure to optionally define a separate local AMDLoader, with its own ModuleManager would make it easier to tear down and redefine modules.

Today, it is possible to reset the state via require.reset(), but I like the idea of being able to overwrite a specific module if necessary, without resetting everything...

Is this about reloading modules to try out changes during development (which is a thing that people are going to sometimes want with more-or-less any module loader, whether that's practical or not), or for some kind of mocking/shimming/SxS type thing?
