Provide require() in console

See original GitHub issue

We should figure out a way to provide a global require() in DEV mode in the browser console. It could be implemented as a webpack plugin (everything is a plugin in webpack right?)

It could work like this:

For modules with unique names, require('moduleName') just works
For modules with non-unique names, require('./full/path/from/root') is the only way

Still not too bad!
