Hi! Just wanted to let you know, I'm thinking of using this nice code in my own NPM package (as one of several side dependencies for rendering react from nashorn). I credited you early in the readme. Work in progress: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react4xp-runtime-nashornpolyfills

I'm still a bit new to the ancient ways of open-sourcing, so I hope this sounds okay and everything about the usage looks fine - please let me know if not.

Thanks! :)
