This I understand.

Yes, module() is gone as already suggested. However,
I still can't see a clear picture of modules.

>From this thread I can conclude I have two options:
1. return the instance and save it to global env as in:
  _G.canvas = base
  return base

2. save it to _M and return nothing:
  _M = base

Right?

(The curious reader can check the current implementation here:
