Sure. But again, this way _all_ globals are accessible from inside  
the module, and I don't see the module's "providers" (and thus the  
dependencies) clearly specified at the top, as with "package.seeall".

Right :-)

Easiest would be something like (example)

 local string = require "string"
 local table = require "table"
 module(..., package.seebasics)    -- as suggested also by Andre
