There are certainly npm authors doing this already, feross[1] is a good example. That means you get packages like is-buffer[2].

What I would do if I wanted to use "is-buffer" is I would copy this index.js to a new file called "isBuffer.js" and it would look like this:

    export function isBuffer (obj) {
        return obj != null && obj.constructor != null &&
        typeof obj.constructor.isBuffer === 'function' &&
        obj.constructor.isBuffer(obj)
    }

Imho, there is no need to pull 10 files into my project to use one function.
