Recently ran into an issue with the npm version of requirejs where I was accidentally pushing the compiled version (r.js) to browser clients because of a generic script redirector checking node_module packages for their main paths.
This redirector checks for "browser" first and then falls back to "main" (or defaults to either "index.js" or "{name}.js" if that's missing).
I'm just recently trying to get back into the webdev game, so please let me know if there's a history here or any reason that the "browser" field hasn't seen wider adoption! It seems like a great generic solution to packaging and delivery problems.
