### Usage

> The usage for requiring the files in a folder is:

```lua

require 'require' -- or require 'lib.require', depending on where you put it

local d = require.tree('path.to.directory')

d.file1 -- contents returned by path/to/directory/file1.lua

d.file2 -- contents returned by path/to/directory/file2.lua

d.subdir.file3 -- contents returned by path/to/directory/subdir/file3.lua

```

> As a bonus, you also have require.relative:

```lua

local f = require.relative(..., "hello") -- if the path to the current file is 'foo.bar.baz', this requires 'foo.bar.hello'

```

> Note that `require('file')` without methods works exactly like before.
