@ -12,10 +12,12 @@ In an [old RFC for require-by-string](https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/pull/969
the path `require("my/module")` is resolved by first checking if `my` is an alias defined in a `.luaurc` file.
If so, we perform a string substitution on `my`.
If not, we try to resolve `my/module` relative to the requiring file.
This is identical to approach (3a) below.
This design changed in the next few months and became what we now have in [require-by-string-aliases.md](require-by-string-aliases.md):
when requiring an alias, it must be prepended with the `@` prefix.
Otherwise, we will assume the given string does not contain an alias and will resolve it relative to the requiring file.
This is identical to approach (1a) below.
There have been disagreements about which approach is more appropriate, so this RFC will serve as a way to document the ongoing discussion and the final decision we make.
