let file = File();
file.create("maths.ez");
file.write("return { multiply: (a, b) => a * b; };");
file.close();
let importedModule = import("maths.ez");
/* A new cache entry has been inserted into the modules:
{
    "maths": {
        "name": "maths",
        "filename": "maths.ez",
        "path": "C:\Easypt\library",
        "exports": {
            "multiply": <function>
        }
    },
    ...
}*/
file.remove();
console.write(importedModule.multiply(4, 6), " ");
console.write(modules.maths.name, " ");
console.write(modules.maths.filename, " ");
console.write(modules.maths.exports.multiply instanceOf Function);
