When a library returns a record with functions defined on it, there's no problem with assigning that record to a variable and calling the functions against the variable, but invalid C is generated if the functions are called directly on require()'s return value.
Code example
local M = @record{}
function M.show() print(1) end
return M
When named 'lib.nelua',
$ nelua -i 'local m = require("lib") m.show()'
1
$ nelua -i 'require("lib").show()'
