Use CommonJS instead of ES Modules?

[dminkovsky]

Thank you for this awesome library.

A question: ES modules are great but still not exactly widely supported. They cause all kinds of issues with node and related tooling, such as Jest and TypeScript. Would it be possible to make the block.js import in the JS version use a require() instead?

Oh I am seeing #4 has this...

If there's a concern that replacing ESM w/ CommonJS would break existing users, you could just add another file with the CommonJS version. It's just one function and would increase usability a lot. Currently I have vendored this lib.

For anyone else looking for a quick fix, you can use patch package NPM and
this patch to get AnyAscii to work with CommonJS.
