    Bug: lua modules should define local functions only

    Lua modules should not create or use global variables to avoid polluting the caller's namespace.
    
    The same applies to functions.
    
    These should all be defined as local, then the only way to invoke them is through the table returned by the require statement.
    
    For example, at present lib/aaa.lua defines the function getRights and returns the hash 
    { rights = getRights }
    
    So the result of 
    
    local aaa = require 'lib/aaa'
    
    is the function callable as aaa.rights()
    
    However the same function also callable as getRights().
