It's a paradox for me, we should be able to handle "VMs" as something 
builtin without having to do plenty of clone manipulations, using fake 
or temporary globals, using tricks to reproduce the bindings, extracting 
and processing stuff from the code to execute, freezing things etc... I 
give some examples in the gist link I have provided (node, cajaVM, 
shadow), in the case of node it's even more strange since VM is a c++ 
module that is internally using js, it's not a critic, that's the way it 
is, but again we should be able to handle this more simply in js

Regarding modules, I can not believe I am the only one to want to load 
scripts (and not modules) as I described, so I can load and execute them 
when and where I want, again example in the gist, modules/scripts are 
complementary
