	Be carefull: you should use the file's name instead of
a function's name.

	This table should not have an array part, therefore
lua_getn should always return 0.

	Note that the value stored in _LOADED["foo"] should be
the value returned by file or `true'.

	If your file doesn't return anything, you'll find that
_LOADED[<filename>] == true, and any function defined inside it
should be stored in the global's table.
