This hasn't been tested extensively yet, so consider it experimental.

Anything in particular that needs extensive testing or are there any other plans to bring the plugin to stable status?

@RinkAttendant6 Thanks for your interest! I wasn't entirely sure how it would interact with all of the internal mechanics of browserify's core modules (which have a lot of inconsistencies to begin with). But for a while it's had monthly downloads comparable to the plugin that I created it to replace (that can't even produce a README that reflects how it actually works, that breaks transforms, and that is technologically inferior to this, but that for some reason has 100 more stars :/), so we could probably stop saying it hasn't been tested enough. Of course I'm sure issues would come up if enough people were to use it.

The other thing is that it relies on an undocumented interface. I've been waiting to see if there's enough interest in it to bother trying to legitimize that. FWIW, other far more widely used plugins, like watchify, also rely on undocumented interfaces. Not that I think that's a good idea or good reason for me to do it.
