- for future references, this is documented from the [[https://www.lua.org/manual][Lua manual]]
- to use the modules from =lua=, you can call =require= builtin;
  the ~require~'d module are stored in a table =packages.loaded= and its content will be loaded inside of a function;
  the module will only load once and it will only cache the return value
- to unload a module, you can set the package from the package table to null (i.e., ~nil~)
