cute!

Hmm, even nicer, the boilerplate bits are all at the beginning and end,
so, I could even write my own little "require" analogue that automates
such a pattern for my own modules, using `loadin' to do the loadin'... :]

function my_load_module (name)
  local m = {}
  local env = setmetatable({},{__index=_ENV, __newindex=m})
  loadin (env, name)
  return m
end

hmmm
