(Or rather, you'd neither have everything be visible through the module
table (as with `package.seeall`) nor need to explicitly pre-`local` all
the stuff that you need to access.  The old `module` already prevented 
accidental globals, it just didn't create an environment (only a module 
table) and made things public-by-default, so you'd still accidentally 
pollute your module if you forgot to `local`.)
