I made up a strawman here:

  http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:system

Note the "variant" as I am not wedded to the specifics of how the
named objects are attached. The most important properties to agree
upon are the role of this object: that it serves as a registry for
varied stuff; that it is managed under the assumption of cooperation;
and that it is intended to convey system-provided material, not to act
as a central point of registration for user-provided components. As
for the latter, there may indeed be a need for such a thing, but this
isn't it.
