my proposal:

require"foo.bar" works as usual; but if "foo.bar" doesn't exist then try to 
require"foo" before failing.

i think that if there's a 'real' foo.bar, it should explicitly require"foo" if 
needed. avoiding just one line is ridiculous. if the packager wants to put it 
all in one file, the non-existence of submodules is enough to trigger the new 
behavior.
