"description": "When developing an Alloy Widget, the `Widget` scope is not available in CommonJS modules used within the widget. It seems like `Widget` should be available much like `Alloy` is available throughout all project JS resources. \r\n\r\nWhen defining models and collections on the Widget level, it makes it difficult to access them from CommonJS assets within a widget. I understand the `Widget` context can be passed into a module, however, this becomes tedious when dealing with a large project with many modules. \r\n\r\nThe `Widget` context be globally available on the widget level, no matter if it is a /controller/.js file or a /lib/.js file.",
