Hi,

I apologize in advance if this is an FAQ, but I couldn't find any reference in
the manual nor using google.

Did you ever consider changing package.loaders so that the function looking for
lua modules uses something like kpse.find_file(name, 'lua') in order to find the
file rather that searching it along package.path?

you can just do that yourself as any function can be redefined, so you can overload the loader or add an extra loader ...

package.loaders[#package.loaders+1] = function(name)
  -- return location of name depending on your preferences
end


Or is something like this already done, and I missed it? Or do you think it
belongs to the macro packages, not in the engine?

indeed, it's a macro package issue as each package might have its own strategy
