Issue with bundling with Webpack: "package is a reserved identifier"

[trentfridey]

Hi, I am using empack to pack a Python environment and serve it in the browser, by serving the pyjs runtime (and the rest of my app code) with Webpack.

Webpack is having an issue with the use of package in include/pyjs/pre_js/load_pkg.js¹ since it is a future reserved word in Javascript:

I tried using a babel plugin that transforms reserved words but it gave me an error that I had difficulty debugging it since the pyjs_runtime_browser.js code is a large file.

It seems more efficient to do a find+replace (i.e. replace package with pkg or similar) for the few spots it is used. I have a fork with the patch if you would like to merge it.
