Loader Hooks

[caridy]

Calvin, I don't fully understand what you mean by "manipulate the exports and imports". I assume you're talking about native modules since you already have full control over the dynamic modules workflow. Maybe Guy Bedford can provide more details on how he implemented this process in es6-module-loader.
