+1 for using npm as the repository for GJS, which is the #1 reason for CGJS
to exist.

I wonder if, being this potentially the beginning of a new way to share GJS
modules, we should agree in a convention to make it clear to the rest of JS
community what is the module target.

As example, naming all GJS modules as `gjs:jasmine` or `gjs-jasmine` or ...
`gjs/jasmine` .. or ... suggestions / opinions welcome :-)
