     * the require() function is sandboxed, it will be null, otherwise it will
     * be a JavaScript Array object. It is up to the provider implementation
     * whether and how it wants to honor the contents of the array.

     * Null should be returned if the script could not found.
     * @throws Exception if there was an unrecoverable problem obtaining the

     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the module ID is syntactically not a
     * valid absolute module identifier.
