  + * This approach puts one top-level definition per file, and so obscures the

  + order in which definitions are loaded. In particular, initializing a global

  + table to contain other global definitions will fail if you originally

  + authored the other global definitions after the table.

  + I never initialize global tables with other definitions. That kind of thing

  + happens in `on.initialize` (akin to `love.load`; see reference.md) or

  + `on.code_change`.
