I get this error when trying to run a Node project which uses this lib as a dependency:

/Users/joao/node_projects/my-project/node_modules/cnpj-promise/src/cnpj-promise.js:2 import Promise from 'promise' ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token import at Object.exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:73:16) at Module._compile (module.js:543:28) at Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10) at Object.require.extensions.(anonymous function) [as .js] (/Users/joao/node_projects/kapmug-proto-server/node_modules/babel-watch/runner.js:63:7)

The solution is to configure a babel npm script and run babel inside of the module's directory to generate a transpiled version to a dist folder.

Is there a reason this is not provided by default?
