[GENERAL] PLV8 and JS exports / referencing

[Jon Erdman]

So, I was trying to use mustache.js in PG by defining a V8 function that 
imports it. Older versions worked fine, but in newer versions they use a class 
factory and I can't figure out how to reference the mustache stuff that it 
creates. Apparently I need to know how our V8 implementation does exports. 

Here's the top of mustache.js with the class factory, and my attempted 
reference at the bottom (the return which gives me undefined reference). I 
tried various invocations and couldn't quite get it. I ended up hacking it up 
to remove the factory and change it to explicitly declare a variable to make it 
work, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

If anyone wants to try to reproduce it, replace the snipped out bits using the 
contents of mustache.js from http://github.com/janl/mustache.js

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION mustache(template text, view json)
    RETURNS TEXT
    LANGUAGE plv8
    IMMUTABLE
    STRICT
AS $$

(function (global, factory) {
  if (typeof exports === "object" && exports) {
    factory(exports); // CommonJS
  } else if (typeof define === "function" && define.amd) {
    define(['exports'], factory); // AMD
  } else {
    factory(global.Mustache = {}); // <script>
  }
}(this, function (mustache) {

  var Object_toString = Object.prototype.toString;
  var isArray = Array.isArray || function (object) {
...
... SNIP ...
...
}));

return mustache.render(template, view);
$$;
