+ * If this parameter is a primitive value, this method throws
+ * an exception.
+ * @returns the module code's global object.
+ *
+ * The implementation maintains a hash of registryLocation->global obj.
+ * Subsequent invocations of importModule with 'registryLocation'
+ * pointing to the same file will not cause the module to be re-evaluated,
+ * but the symbols in EXPORTED_SYMBOLS will be exported into the
+ * specified target object and the global object returned as above.
