The 'true.lua' file still takes a non-zero and non-trivial size on disk due to the inode structure. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3618820/how-many-bytes-per-inodes) 

Thus the following is smaller module with your same requirements:

package.loaded['true']=true
assert(require'true' == true)
Not saying what I have cannot be smaller, but don't make absolute statements that aren't true.
And any non-empty Lua module file still takes more size on disk than true.lua.
The point is to have it as a separate file/an external module, in which case my statements are true.

    Nice. You won smallest lua module contest!

    But where is license, readme, usage example, self-tests via standalone
    test system, inlined docs in source, external docs, training course
    videos and product site? You can't just release source these days!
