Renaming `import`

I'm looking for name suggestions for my import module. The purpose of the tool is to add file importing abilities to JavaScript and CoffeeScript files via a #import directive similar to other languages.

import is a bad name for the module for a number of reasons:

import is a reserved word in JavaScript/CoffeeScript so you cannot write var import = require('import') without getting syntax errors.
The import command line tool conflicts with another tool of the same name which is commonly installed on Linux and Mac systems as part of the Imagemagick package.

For these reasons, I'm looking for a new name. The criteria are basically that the name must be available on npm and it must not be a JS reserved word. Here are a few that I thought of:

	// Original version
	(function(){function s(v){document.documentElement.style[['','webkit','Moz','O','ms'].filter(function(p){return p+'Transform' in document.documentElement.style})[0]+'Transform']=v}if (!localStorage\|\|!localStorage.flipped&&location.href!="http://badassjs.com/post/20294238453/webkit-js-yes-it-has-finally-happened-browser"){s('rotate(180deg)');document.links[0].onclick=function(){s('none');document.body.scrollTop=0;this.onclick=null;localStorage&&(localStorage.flipped=1);return !1}}})()

	// Somewhat prettier version
	(function() {
	function s(v) {
	document.documentElement.style[
	['','webkit','Moz','O','ms'].filter(function(p){
	return p + 'Transform' in document.documentElement.style
	})[0]+'Transform'

	/**

	*/

	svg {
	font: 900 500%/1.2 'Arial Black', sans-serif;
	}

	text {
	fill: url(#wood);

	player.onPostProcessing = function(buffer, channelCount) {
	if (!player.playing) return;

	var volume = DGPlayer.volume / 100;
	for (var i = 0; i < buffer.length; i++) {
	buffer[i] *= volume;
	}
	};

	var filter = new VolumeFilter();

	class DGArray
	constructor: (Type, @lengths...) ->
	if @lengths.length is 0
	throw new RangeError("Not enough lengths.")

	length = 1
	for l in @lengths
	length *= l

	@data = new Type(length)

	function makeBlob(data) {
	try {
	return new Blob([data]);
	} catch (e) {}

	if (typeof BlobBuilder !== "undefined" && BlobBuilder !== null) {
	var bb = new BlobBuilder;
	bb.append(data);
	return bb.getBlob();
	}
