Back in February, Clemens pasted this from an email from Chris:

Now that 0.11 has been released, I'm wondering if this happened? I
can't seem to find any documentation on such a feature.

Thanks!

The first (CommonJS require) made it into 0.11 and I've just commented on the second with the correct way to load templates (the _design doc is available as the "this" object in _show _list etc functions).

Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I've closed them both.

OK, after a little more digging, I found some JIRA issues that seem to
be related:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-658
"Add CommonJS style modules to the view server" — I imagine this would
be useful for loading a templating library.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-693
"require function - add support for requiring plain html/xml files in
addition to only javascript" — this seems it would be the mechanism
for loading the templates themselves.

They are both marked as open and unassigned, so I assume neither made
it in to 0.11. Since 0.11 is supposed to be a feature freeze for 1.0,
I suppose that means that these features will be post-1.0?
