Package name dependency #49

First, I want to thank you for great projects :) I am using for emoji usage analysis!!

There is a tiny problem when installing... because of same name of module and package ( emoji-regex) ///

when I tried to install with "npm install emoji-regex" code ENOSELF npm ERR! Refusing to install package with name "emoji-regex" under a package npm ERR! also called "emoji-regex". Did you name your project the same npm ERR! as the dependency you're installing? npm ERR! npm ERR! For more information, see: npm ERR! https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install#limitations-of-npms-install-algorithm

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

I write this because there is no issue regarding this.... Also For those who experiencing same problems : When switching module (in package.json) into different name or project name(re- git clone is easiest) , it can work.

Free to comment!

That's how npm works. You can't install emoji-regex in emoji-regex because npm assumes that it would create recursive dependencies.
