If Lua really once will get a macro extension, it is highly possible that such things would be possible, assuming that the Lua macro language will run pre-compilation.
Naturally, this has been done ;)

print(sin(1.2) + cos(0.3))
Anything can be loaded at pre-compile expansion time, so it can work with any require.
However, it involves the external dependency LuaMacro as a preprocessor
