How to alias config in packer.startup{}

[bangedorrunt]

This is my setup which is not working atm

return require 'packer'.startup {
  function()
    local config = function(name)
      pcall(require, 'plugins.' .. name)
    end
    -- Didn't work!
    use { 'foo', config = config 'foo' }
  end

}

FYI, use { 'foo', config = function() require 'plugins.foo' end } worked as expected

Right now, your config is passing the result of the pcall to the config key. You want your config function to return a function that calls pcall as desired. However, you might run into trouble with this because string.dump does not allow upvalues. #402 will fix that shortcoming, or you can just have your config function return a string instead (which will be inserted verbatim).
