Problem with additional_arguments is that once you have 2 ways of
require()'ing a module, you cannot have the module cached
automatically by require() anymore. You can solve this by complicating
require() to search for a function in the module namespace and, if
found, call it with additional_arguments and return its result instead
of package.loaded[modulename]. That is, if the module returns a table,
but that's even more policy upon the poor module.
