I could be wrong, but I imagine he's referring to the module concept. Not CommonJS itself. (Or perhaps referring to skulpt.org, but I doubt that.)

  Yes, that's correct. Importing is similar to require(), although there's no explicit exporting.

    setting module-level __all__ can modify what gets pulled in a wild import, but that's about it.

      It's also used by `help()` (and pydoc): if there's an __all__, help will only pull the docstrings of the stuff in __all__. `dir()`, on the other hand, does not care.
