I recall a discussion about splitting the 'require' logic in two parts. 
I don't remember if it was on the Kepler dev's list or here. Anyway, it 
was about decoupling the process of finding a module from the actual 
loading of the module. Surely someone who took part in that discussion 
will be reading this.

Will issues like this be addressed in Lua 5.2 ?
