The Lua module system is very simple. Now that it is implemented in C, I
see little reason to translate it to Lua. If that's a reference
implementation (of module, require, package.seeall, package.loaders.*)
that you are looking for, there may be some on the wiki, and if not just
ask for one, it won't take more than a few minutes to craft one (this
doesn't mean that it's trivial, but simplicity of the system is one of
its qualities, and some of us know the model well enough to reimplement
it easily).
