Thanks John, you beat me to it -- basically, I agree the interop story isn't worked out enough (in part because when we started working on this there weren't as many dynamic modules around!).

I suspect it might need to be differentiated syntactically, though; I'm not sure there's any way to detect automatically that legacy.js is not an ES6 module but an old-style script. And I'm not sure you *want* to infer that anyway, if the semantics is going to be subtly different.

Agreed.
