Doesn't honor the removeCombined option when optimizing with r.js

[peol]

I'd love for the text plugin to clean up inlined text modules when optimized. I'd love to take a swing at this (I hacked it locally by caching the file on the node process object and fetch from that cache (unlinking the file once it's cached) but I'm seeing an issue with all require plugins. There's no easy way to add support for these plugins, I haven't looked too closely at the current code in require.js but if there's a possibility to add an hook for this that would be awesome.

Maybe this issue should be solved in require.js core first, and solved here later--but I'd love to hear your thoughts, @jrburke.

This does seem like a core issue. Specifically, I think there should be a loader plugin API for this, similar in some ways to writeFile. Maybe removeFile(). I opened requirejs/r.js#344 to track this, since the bulk of the change will be in the optimizer. Comment in that bug to add more to the idea or to reference if you want to try a patch.

Putting that ticket in consideration for 2.1.4, the release after the next release. However, it may be pushed later after it is given more though.

Once that ticket is addressed, we can use this ticket to track a change in text.js itself.
