You'll notice that before uploading the breaking node-strip-json-comments,
I did write to this list to ask for advice, and uploaded a -1 which could
still be required (but not imported, breaking upstream in a way).

And the sound advice was: follow upstream. So I uploaded -2 which broke
requiring deps; but could be imported like upstream meant.

It we had something automatically doing the require-and-import trick, that
could be a temporary solution. Very very temporary. But this workaround is
manual and goes in the wrong direction, so I'm voting against it. It looks
like it could silently build up a technical debt... until shit hits the fan
(a when, not an if), then we'll have to foot the bill.
