The types of this library do not match the actual JS code, leading to a situation where using ESM under the node16 moduleResolution method in TypeScript, the default export types will fail to resolve. TypeScript is more strict around type compliance with these settings enabled, and therefore requires the types to match.
The JS code does not use a default import, as export default in ESM is not identical to module.exports =. export = can be used in the index.d.ts to match the behaviour within the JS file.
