Research direction
Start by inspecting the package metadata, published entry points, and how the current require('assert') name is exposed. Determine how a second name such as assert.js could be published without disrupting the existing name; done means the alternate package name is available and the ambiguity is resolved.

Description
We stumbled upon the issue of ambiguous imports when using this library.
require(assert) can refer to the library or Node's assert API.
It would be awesome to have the library available under a second name (e.g., assert.js) in use cases where you don't want to have this ambiguity. Other libraries with the same issue went down a similar road, e.g. punycode.
