   Code wanting to be a module would do:

	----[ sample.lua ]---------

	local string = _REQUIRE("string")
	_MODULE()
	function split(s,delim) ... end
	function wrap(s,margin) ... end
	function trim(s) ...end
You forgot 'return _ENV'! Since _MODULE does not get the module name, it cannot pass the exported definitions via 'package.loaded[ name ]'. So you must pass the exported definitions via 'return'. 

If you add 'return _ENV', _MODULE() becomes '_ENV = {}'.



	----[ end ]---------
