include() should not be used by libraries because it will pollute the global
namespace. To discourage this behavior and bring Node more in-line with
the current CommonJS module system, include() is removed.
Small scripts like unit tests often times do want to pollute the global
namespace for ease. To avoid the boiler plate code of
var x = require("/x.js");
var foo = x.foo;
var bar = x.bar;
The function node.mixin() is stolen from jQuery's jQuery.extend. So that it
can be written:
node.mixin(require("/x.js"));

Instead of
myemitter.emit("event", [arg1, arg2, arg3]);
the API is now
myemitter.emit("event", arg1, arg2, arg3);
This change saves the creation of an extra array object for each event.
The implementation is also slightly more simple.
promise.wait() now returns the arguments of the "success" event. If there
was only a single argument, then it is returned. If there was more than
one, they are returned as an array. If there was an error, it is thrown.
See documentation.
