What is a package: (holy hell, why is this so complicated?)

   

A package is any of:

1. a) a folder containing a program described by a package.json file
2. b) a gzipped tarball containing (a)
3. c) a url that resolves to (b)
4. d) a <name>@<version> that is published on the registry with ©
5. e) a <name>@<tag> that points to (d)
6. f) a <name> that has a latest tag satisfying (e)
7. g) a git url that, when cloned, results in (a).
