To the very least the package should be renamed e.g.
node-bytereprconverter or something less generic.
bytes is far too generic, not really related to what it actually does,
and pollutes the (node) namespace.
Given that there is no agreement on what is the right way to do what
this package attempts to do, I think packaging should stalled until
upstream actually provides useful functionality, like being able to
choose between both interpretations of representations.
Reverse depends requiring the package in its current form can easily be
patched with these few lines.
