Without a new extension, you cannot "import" from an old-style module in
the browser or the server.  One must know a priori how to parse the file
before one parses the file.  Old-style modules cannot (in general) be
parsed as ES6 modules, and ES6 modules (in general) cannot be parsed as
old-style modules.
