Description

This is a minor one, but I find it important to mention: As our app grows (70+ controllers), we are starting to experience an issue related to debug logs. When calling import (transpiled down to require()}}, the Node.js path-algorithm (implemented by [~cwilliams] 2 years ago) steps in and returns an instance of the exported object. So good so far, but in our case, this produces hundrets of log messages, e.g.:

Note: The above 19 logs are for *one* file, think about a complex view with 10+ controllers, common-js modules and external node_modules. So long story short: I'd like to remove this log for the compiled / packaged version of the SDK. Since it can still be useful to trace imports in the core-development of Titanium (where it will still be enabled), this should not break any development flows and make the console output more structured again - especially when using debug logs á lá JavaScript.
