dojo.require - allow array for moduleName

[Les]

I frequently need to call dojo.require sequentially. Would it be possible to alternately pass an array of modules as the first argument to dojo.require?

[dante]

something like:

dojo.forEach(["dijit.form.Button","dijit.Dialog"], dojo.require);

seems too easy to do out of the box already?

Replying to dante:

something like:

dojo.forEach(["dijit.form.Button","dijit.Dialog"], dojo.require);

seems too easy to do out of the box already?

Yes, this will work for me. Thx.

Note that using dojo.forEach will make it hard for the build system to find your dependencies if you want to do custom builds: the build system uses simple regexps to find dojo.require dependencies.

I can see where this could be useful, but I think more appropriate to consider for Dojo 2.0 when we can consider changing APIs.

Les, thanks for the reminder that this ticket predates the other one. I am going to use the other ticket though to track the change.
