-- This is a commented version of:
--   (find-angg "LUA/lua50init.lua" "DednatRequire")
--
-- This file makes the "require" in lualatex behave in a way that is
-- more compatible with the "require"s of plain Luas.
--
-- Initially I tried to fix the "broken" require of lualatex by using
-- a table.insert to insert a new function in the middle of this
-- table:
--
--   (find-lua51manual "#pdf-package.loaders")
--   (find-lua52manual "#pdf-package.searchers")
--   (find-lua52manual "#8.2" "package.loaders was renamed package.searchers")

-- Then, at some point in texlive2020, my fix stopped working, and it
-- broke require in horrible ways... the new lualibs-package.lua was
-- redefining the entries in package.searchers and then referring to
-- the new seacher functions by their numeric indices, and my
-- table.insert was moving package.searchers[3] to
-- package.searchers[4] - and BOOM. See here:
--
--   https://github.com/latex3/lualibs/issues/4
--
-- This file has a fix for "require" that works (AFAIK) in all
-- versions of lualuatex. It saves a copy of "require" in
-- "oldrequire", defines "dednatrequire" as a wrapper around
-- "oldrequire", and then sets "require" to "dednatrequire". After
-- that we can switch between the two behaviors with:
--
--   require = oldrequire
--   require = dednatrequire
