Untested, but:

function package.loading()
  local i = 3
  local x = debug.getinfo(2)
  local n = x.source
  while debug.getinfo(i).source == n do
    i = i + 1
  end
  return debug.getinfo(i).func == require
end

(this supports modules such as "return (function(...) 
print(package.loading()) end)(...)")
