It seemed too complexity for little benefit. Compare:

<       lua_pushfstring(L, "\n\tno module " LUA_QS " in file " LUA_QS,
<                          name, filename);

>       lua_pushfstring(L, "\n\tno module '%s' in file '%s'", name, filename);

I guess everybody can live with 'filename' in their Lua error messages.
