It has been my experience, that "feature" is not actually used except
as a filename.  In fact,

   require (filename [,namespace]);

should work.  Earlier versions of the require function (e.g., the one
distributed with 0.99-18) do not support namespaces.  In this sense,
there is no backward compatibility.

For slang-2.1, I thought about, but never pursued, adding qualifier
support to `require`, e.g.,

    require ("/path/to/foo"; namespace="bar");

In what way are you using require?
