Monkey patch for require in Titanium Mobile

app.js

/*
add a monkey-patched "require" function to the global scope (global object).
It is smarter in two ways:
- It only loads a module once
- If the exports object contains a function matching the module base name, return that
  value from "require" - this is a bit of sugar added because Titanium's require implementation
  does not allow you to replace the "exports" object directly
*/

//monkey patch "require" in the global scope
require('require_patch').monkeypatch(this);

//regular modules are the same...
var module = require('module');
module.sayHello('Marshall');
module.sayGoodbye('Kevin');

//modules which contain a type by the same name as the module...
var Person = require('Person');
var jedi = new Person('Luke','Skywalker');

module.js

exports.sayHello = function(name) {
    alert('Hello '+name+'!');
};

exports.sayGoodbye = function(name) {
    alert('Goodbye '+name+'!');
};

Person.js

exports.Person = function(firstName,lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
};

require_patch.js

exports.monkeypatch = function(object) {
	var scriptRegistry = {},
		old_require = object.require;
	object.require = function(moduleName) {
		if (!scriptRegistry[moduleName]) {
			var mod = old_require(moduleName),
				moduleRoot = moduleName.split(/[\/ ]+/).pop();
			if (typeof(mod[moduleRoot]) === 'function') {
				scriptRegistry[moduleName] = mod[moduleRoot];
			}
			else {
				scriptRegistry[moduleName] = mod;
			}	
		}
		return scriptRegistry[moduleName];
	};
};

o_O
uh. That's completely different than what it fixes in my code. Removing the monkeyPatch breaks all sorts of stuff in my app on 2.0.2.GA
Looks like I've got some homework to do. Thanks for the response.

EDIT:
After looking at https://gist.github.com/2920512 i think i get it. I'll play around with it.

EDIT 2:
Thank you.
