Could these (especially luaL_requiref) be renamed to something less 
cryptic?  The short one letter abbreviations the Lua implementation is 
so fond of should IMHO not leak too much into the public API.

Typo "resue" -> "reuse" (also in the manual).  A little more info on 
how this caching is done and what implies for memory usage would be 
great.  What's the intended use case that caching solves?
