AFAIK, it goes like this

local print,tostring = print,tostring -- just like module(), this is a
private environment!
local _ENV = {}

function m1()
...
end

function m2()
...
end

return _ENV

Note that this kind of module has no name - you can put it anywhere in
the filesystem. You have to say 'local m = require 'mod'' because it
does not do any global magic.
