Support npm commands, specifically install

[leftmove]

What is the problem this feature would solve?

A lot of existing websites that advertise NPM libraries have an easy copy/paste button that copies npm install {package}.

It gets somewhat tedious having to replacenpm with bun add package. I know that bun install or even bun install --save-dev works, but it would useful if I could just copy/paste npm anyways.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

bun npm install {package}

Whenever npm is given as an argument, Bun could just run the equivalent NPM command, factoring in for things like npm i or even other package mangers PNPM or Yarn.

This would be really convenient and work towards Bun's mission of being the drop-in Node.js replacement.

What alternatives have you considered?

Replacing every npm with bun works, but the time adds up.

i have a simple alias for myself for situations like this:

alias bnpm=bun

usage: type b and paste npm command: bnpm install abcxyz
