System.import()?

[Matthew Robb]

It seems to me that what is needed is something like what used to be
System.get().

In an async environment this should return nothing if it's not already
loaded but in sync environments it could be treated as the imperative API
for sync module loading and go through the same loader steps as
System.import but perhaps with no async wrappers?
