Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynAPI.include() and Libraries

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

When you use DynAPI.include(), you do not have to put the .js extension
with the current implementation.  The reason it is done in the
addLibrary is so it does not have to be concatenated on each library
item in the for loop.  

So, it is more efficient to add the .js to the files in addLibrary (this
is usually done internally in the DynAPI, anyways). And, currently the
.js is not required in the include().  So, I don't see a reason to
change this.  I don't think any other solution will  be quite as fast as
now (unless you require the .js).
