Dynamic import require

[Fenzland]

ESModules without dynamic import is incomplete.
We cannot do this:

if( whenWeNeed() )
    import 'some_thing';

nor this:

const need= whatWeNeed();
    import need;

Only dynamic import can make ESM as strong as CommonJS or AMD.

Maybe there are some security reasons. But local dynamic import should be retain.

Closing. Duplicate of #1789.
