It seems that ANSI is just dropping the module feature.  Apparently we
are all to roll our own.  I quote: "XJ13 commented that the file-loading
feature of REQUIRE is not portable, and that the remaining functionality
is easily implemented by user code."  (CLtLII p.277)  This is true but a
little unfriendly, and invites portability problems.
