A dictionary of file extensions and associated module loaders.

## What is it
This is used by [Liftoff](http://github.com/tkellen/node-liftoff) to automatically require dependencies for configuration files, and by [rechoir](http://github.com/tkellen/node-rechoir) for registering module loaders.

## interpret for enterprise

## API

### extensions
Map file types to modules which provide a [require.extensions] loader.

### jsVariants
Same as above, but only include the extensions which are javascript variants.

## How to use it

Consumers should use the exported `extensions` or `jsVariants` object to determine which module should be loaded for a given extension. If a matching extension is found, consumers should do the following:

1. If the value is null, do nothing.

2. If the value is a string, try to require it.

3. If the value is an object, try to require the `module` property. If successful, the `register` property (a function) should be called with the module passed as the first argument.

4. If the value is an array, iterate over it, attempting step #2 or #3 until one of the attempts does not throw.
