how would jsPax accomplish:
$("user").each(function(){
$.jsanUse('com.myapp.userClass');
com.myapp.userClass.doSomething(this);
});
Where com.myapp.userClass.doSomething is passed the selected user?
Would it have to be this?
$using('com.myapp.userClass', function() {
$("user").each(function(){
com.myapp.userClass.doSomething(this);
});
});
If so then com.myapp.userClass is loaded regardless if it is needed or
not. That is something I would like to avoid.
Overall I think we both agree that namespace based on-demand package
loading is a valuable asset to any JS developer. The finer details of
exactly how that should be implemented is the only bit at issue here.

p.s. I just want to reiterate that JSAN can be used without jQuery,
but if it is used as a plugin you can take advantage of built in
jQuery methods instead of replicating them in a standalone way. If an
app is going to make extensive use of jQuery anyway I see no fault in
loading jQuery and the small plugin. Otherwise one could use the
standalone. Also, I specifically introduced the altURLs to support
YUI which does not match filenames to namespaces, this did not add
that much overhead (5 short lines of code).
