which also means that the module needn't actually get require()ed unless and until it is wanted.
Indeed a rather useful idiom I find myself using quiet often: instead of importing everything upfront, only do so when needed.
For example:
function IndexLink( aPrefix )
 local HTTPExtra = require( 'HTTPExtra' )
 local HTTPService = require( 'HTTPService' )
 local WikiIndexService = require( 'WikiIndexService' )
 local aFirst, aSecond = ( aPrefix or '' ):match( '^(%w)(%w?)' )
 local aService = WikiIndexService( aFirst, aSecond )
 local aURL = HTTPService[ aService ]
 return aURL.path
end
