If one uses the `module` function, it puts an entry in the global
namespace anyway, correct?  It's just if you do a `local math =
require "math"`, the `math` name resolves to the local entry first.
At least, that's my understanding.  (Also, if this behavior didn't
happen, it would make it would make `require "foo"` useless.)
