Importing modules from node's standard library

[Martin Dederer]

Is it possible to import nodejs modules without the proper roym module descriptor files in place? Currently importing modules which are part of node's api fails because no matching roym file can be found. That's a little annoying.

You should be able to do something like this:

let fs = require 'fs'

let passwd = fs.readFileSync '/etc/passwd' 'utf8'
console.log passwd

The un-nice thing is that the above is untyped - Roy can't know the
types in these modules without you writing a wrapper for it.
