This would enable those of us who've written things like browserify transforms for handlebars to not do things like this:

https://github.com/dlmanning/browserify-handlebars/blob/master/index.js#L8-L9

and this:

https://github.com/epeli/node-hbsfy/blob/master/runtime.js#L1-L3

which can only lead to tears.

I've commented on an open issue in https://github.com/epeli/handlebars-runtime, whose author currently holds the name on npm:

esamattis/node-handlebars-runtime#3
