in loadlib.c:
/* check whether table already has a _NAME field */
lua_getfield(L, -1, "_NAME");
if (!lua_isnil(L, -1)) /* is table an initialized module? */
lua_pop(L, 1);
else { /* no; initialize it */
lua_pop(L, 1);
modinit(L, modname);
}
So, if the module did not set _NAME, lua will help the module to do that.
