require() to return a Deferred

[Kitson Kelly]

Change the require(), or create an equivalent module loader to return a deferred object, so the following would be possible:

var requireDeferred = require(["package/Something"]);

requireDeferred.then(function(object) {
  ...
},
function(error) {
  ...
});

As per discussion on dojo-contributors (​http://mail.dojotoolkit.org/pipermail/dojo-contributors/2012-January/026176.html) I am fine with this enhancement being closed.

I'd say to close it too but assigning to Rawld since it's his code. It would be nice to use Deferreds to be consistent with the rest of dojo, but it seems more important to be consistent with the other AMD loaders.

And on a similar note, even if the loader did have this feature, I wouldn't want to use it in dojo code like the parser because it would prevent the parser from working with other AMD loaders.
