Maybe the problem is that if you require socke.core, it will
create a the "socket" table, and store a variety of
functions there.  If you later require"socket" on your own,
socket.lua won't be loaded.  The "socket" table created by
sockt.core will be returned directly instead.

I think I could have set things up so that socket.core
creates its own independent module table, and then have
socket.lua explode this table into the "socket" table it
creates, adding the high-level functionality on top of that.
I didn't think it would be worth the trouble, and I am still
not sure it is.

Regards,
Diego.
