                more-or-less instant command-line ESM to CJS transform. Copies from src to dist. `cjyes src/*.js`

If you're publishing ES Modules, you need to also publish CommonJS versions of those modules.
This isn't to support old browsers or Node versions: even in Node 14, using require() to load a module won't work if it's only available as ESM.
cjyes is the bare minimum fix for this problem. You write ES Modules and fill out a valid package.json, and it'll generate the corresponding CommonJS files pretty much instantly. cjyes takes up 500kb of disk space including its two dependencies.
