I'm of the opposite opinion. Allowing require to error because of a
missing dependency is probably the best solution for this. I am
finishing a patch that will issue an error warning that informs the
user the script could not be loaded (compilation, run time errors, and
missing required fields), as well as the actual error if debugging is
on.
