There was although it was replaced in 2015.

My personal view is that we should keep the complexity out of the API. 
If super advanced users want to use their own class loaders to load 
modules then they can do so with the defineModules. Yes, this does mean 
that anyone doing this needs to know how to translate readability and 
exports into delegation but it's a small/advanced group I think.
