How to annotate xpcall wrapper

[sarmong]

Given the following piece of code, how can I annotate it correctly, so that type of module is a table of functions and not unknown? (module2 is annotated correctly)

_G.req = function(module_name)
  local ok, module = xpcall(require, err_handler, module_name)

  if not ok then
    print("There was a problem loading " .. module_name .. " module")
  end

  return module
end

local module = req("lsp.functions")
local module2 = require("lsp.functions")

xpcall returns unknown for module, but maybe there is a way to infer the type, because it is rather inconvenient.

Or maybe there is a workaround?

require is specially treated, you can use the following config:

"Lua.runtime.special": {
    "req": "require"
}

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
