Re:Reusing require.js modules in Node.js with AMDrequire by spencera on Wednesday May 21, 2014 @01:27PM (#7779475)
Looks like it offers a subset of the features by allowing you to use the same require() function for both amd and commonjs modules.

Ah, thank you - I misunderstood the crucial piece "load AMD modules like ... they were native Node modules".

I guess I can see the value in this, if you're retrofitting a new module in the AMD style to an existing node application which does not use that style.
