Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

var Article = require('../../../models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

	// use Prompt like normal... magic happens in getUserConfirmation
	class App extends Component {
	render () {
	return (
	<Router getUserConfirmation={getUserConfirmation}>
	{...}
	<Prompt
	when={formIsHalfFilledOut}
	message="Are you sure you want to leave?"
	/>

	//This is a file called add.js
	//It just has one addItem function that takes a new to do "task" like "go to the store" and it makes
	//one call inside of it to a third party- queries.addNew function to add said task to an SQL database.
	//We ofcourse do not want to depend on the database in our test-so we are going to stub this queries.addNew out...

	const queries = require("../queries")
