> I think the idea to load several versions of the same module into the same namespace is really, really begging for trouble.

The intent is to have multiple versions of the module so that when a new version of the module is developed, any other scripts that called a previous version can continue calling it without automatically having to start using the new version and risk something breaking. There would never be a case in which multiple versions of the same module would be loaded into the same namespace.

Something like that would probably work for what I'm doing.
