Re: the new require() in 4.1alpha and shared library?

["Terence Martin" <odat@...>]

It doesn't load shared libraries, it loads lua files (or compiled lua
files). The purpose of it is to indicate what files your code needs to have
loaded in order to work. It keeps a list of all files that have been loaded
and makes sure not to load the same file a second time.
