Disagree.
While part of the the behavior of lauxlib.luaL_pushmodule might be controversial (mangling global variables), the other functionalities of loadlib.ll_module are useful in and by themselves. Namely, (1) register module with _LOADED (lauxlib.luaL_pushmodule), (2) initialize module's _M, _NAME and _PACKAGE (loadlib.modinit), (3) execute options (lauxlib.dooptions), and (4) set the _ENV of the caller to be the module (lauxlib.set_env).
Keep these functionalities. Get rid of luaL_pushmodules' lua_pushglobaltable if you must.
