(among other things) that every call to `require('foo')` will get
exactly the same object returned, if it would resolve to the same file.

Multiple calls to `require('foo')` may not cause the module code to be
executed multiple times. This is an important feature. With it,
"partially done" objects can be returned, thus allowing transitive
dependencies to be loaded even when they would cause cycles.
Provided `require.cache` is not modified, multiple calls to
`require('foo')` will not cause the module code to be executed multiple times.
This is an important feature. With it, "partially done" objects can be returned,
thus allowing transitive dependencies to be loaded even when they would cause
cycles.

To have a module execute code multiple times, export a function, and call
that function.
