I didn't understand the original question, maybe you can clarify what
it is you are trying to do?

You are requiring something, and then want to replace one of the
functions in that module?

Just calling loadfile() alone doesn't actually run any lua code, it
just compiles a chunk, and returns an anonymous function, so there
isn't anything to override....

What are you trying to do?
