I think it would be resolvable in the future with current LR with change
in module naming:
local posix=require 'org.example.luaposix'
or
local posix=require 'org.example2.lposix'
and then "require 'posix'" should be discouraged in any software (unless
global "posix" space was defined with well-known API, and could wrap any
existing implementation).
