i repacked without a dist/ folder because i am an idiot—and really, i am trying to avoid using what appears to be a hand-coded index.js file in the root of the rxjs repo (that uses typescript for everything except this file)

all of these tricks are needed to avoid copying package.json to the dist/ folder which is the accepted solution for this issue: npm/npm#10996

If I understand the docs correctly main should solve it. But it does not work: "main": "dist/index.js" @jonashartwig

packing without the dist/ does not have the intended effect
