Description

This package uses the same name as the inbuilt punycode package in node.js.

While this might work with the default loader (haven't tried), it can cause an annoyance for package builders (some seem to ignore it as a build in).

Any chance of being able to alias it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the package name and how Node.js package builders distinguish built-in modules, then inspect the repository's package metadata and entry points. Done means the package can be aliased without the reported collision and the supported naming or loading behavior is documented and verified.
