Hello, all

It looks like in the system for which I need to write
server-side JavaScript, neither CommonJS nor ECMAScript
modules are supported, but it provides its own module system
that works as shown below:

   $.import("anton_test/util.xsjslib","util"); // import module
   $.anton_test.util.log("Log from library."); // invoke a function

Is it somehow possible to have all the functions from `util'
available in the current scope, so that I could invoke them
by their names: log("Hello"), rather than, say,
util.log("Hello"), without enumerating them in a
destucturing assignment. If analogies with other languages
can help, then it would be like `uses` in Borland Pascal,
`using static` in C#, or `#include` in C.
