Doesn't seem like this would work

local soniex2 = reqpath"io.github.soniex2"
local a = soniex2.a()
local bpath = soniex2.b
local c = bpath.c()
local b = bpath()
-- ??? what happens here?

   Did you try it?  What should happen there?

Didn't try it, but based on the code, it should act like this:
local soniex2 = reqpath"io.github.soniex2" --> local t1 = {base="io.github.soniex2", path={}} 
                                           --> local soniex2 = t1
local a = soniex2.a() --> t1 = {base="io.github.soniex2", path={"a"}} --> local a = t1() --> require("io.github.soniex2.a") --> t1 = {base="io.github.soniex2", path={}} local bpath = soniex2.b --> t1 = {base="io.github.soniex2", path={"b"}} --> local bpath = t1 -- bpath is just an alias for t1 local c = bpath.c() --> t1 = {base="io.github.soniex2", path={"b", "c"}} --> local c = t1() --> require("io.github.soniex2.b.c") --> t1 = {base="io.github.soniex2", path={}} -- remember that the call clears self.path? local b = bpath() --> local b = t1() --> require("io.github.soniex2") -- oops! should be "io.github.soniex2.b" 




Why are you? :P

   I have no idea ...
