The main of a module should test the module, I would say.

-- MySnazzyModule
-- Tries to be compatible with various module mechanisms

-- (_init)
require "import"
local midi = import "MyMidiVersion2"
-- (end _init)

local function pif(tab)
  function tab.sing(x) end
  function tab.dance(y) end
  return tab
end

if _REQUIREDNAME then
  getenv()[_REQUIREDNAME] = pif {} 
  return true
 elseif _LTN11 then
  return pif
end

local Snazzy = pif {}
Snazzy.sing "Bésame"
Snazzy.dance "tango"
-- obviously not enough tests, but
print "Test of all-singing, all-dancing module succeeded"

---------------------------

But I think he was talking about the part labelled (_init) above.
