- Subject: Convenience require
- From: "Soni L." <fakedme@...>

We currently have raw requires, which means we do things like
local a = require"io.github.soniex2.a" local b =
require"io.github.soniex2.b" local c = require"io.github.soniex2.b.c" --
use a, b and c normally
Instead of that, is there a module or something that lets me do
something like
local soniex2 = reqpath"io.github.soniex2" local a = soniex2("a") --
alternatively, `soniex2.a()` local b = soniex2("b") -- alternatively,
`soniex2.b()` local c = soniex2("b.c") -- alternatively,
`soniex2.b.c()`, with the call at the -- end for disambiguating between
module and path, and -- setting an __index is not an option as the
module -- could already have its own __index (or not be a -- table at
all; some modules return functions!). -- use a, b and c normally
I think it looks nicer.
