No problem really, I spent some time AFK this summer and didn't ping 
soon enough.

Yeah I actually don't know why I avoided to type two more letters in the 
first place. I didn't build the patterns here because that would have 
required storing the match result in a separate variable binding and 
requiring to check twice if the binding was false (which is the way I 
went in the new patch. The only slight downside in the new patch is that 
if the match result is #f then patterns is #<unspecified> but is also 
provably never accessed. If you can think of a better way to solve this, 
please do tell me), but mapping first is still more efficient, so I 
changed it.

Definitely, I just fixed that.

Thanks, I didn't know. Fixed :).

I put this because also the "main" field from package.json is also 
guaranteed to be installed by NPM, according to 
https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#main . Thus if a developer 
populates the "files" field without including the main file in that 
list, but they do insert it in the "main" field the file should be 
installed. Does it make sense?

Thank you for your patience in reviewing this patch. I'm attaching an 
updated version of the second patch.

Cheers,
