The standard 'module' function does that work. You can replace:

local name = (...):gsub('%.[^%.]+$', '')
local read = require (name..".read")
local write = require (name..".write")
local compile = {}

with:

module(..., package.seeall)
local read = require (_PACKAGE.."read")
local write = require (_PACKAGE.."write")
local compile = _M
