What if you implement the parent search as another loader (that always
fails), and place it in the middle of the loaders list?

    loaders = {
        load_Preload,
        load_C,
        load_Lua
        load_ParentSearch,
        load_Preload,
    }

That way the cost will only be paid on first failure. No if's. No cost
for modules that are already loaded.

Diego.
