Depending on 'trace-and-clarify-if-possible' throws error on Node 8

[igor-savin-ht]

Since 'trace' is defined as a dependency in this library, it gets resolved transitively for whoever depends on it, and on Node.js 8 this results in

error trace@2.4.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^4.5 || ^6.0 || ^7.0".

Probably this can be resolved by changing trace dependency to peerDependency - this will also allow whoever consumes this library to also provide a different major release of trace, that is compatible with Node 8 (if version range would allow >2.x.y version)

Would "optionalDependency" work?

[nknapp]

Another option would be a npm "install" script that installs the correct version of "trace" based on the current node version.

[igor-savin-ht]

"If a dependency can be used, but you would like npm to proceed if it cannot be found or fails to install, then you may put it in the optionalDependencies object"

Worth a shot, I guess :)

[igor-savin-ht]

Would npm install script work properly when 'trace-and-clarify-if-possible' is a transitive dependency?

[nknapp]

I think so. If not, "postinstall" should work.

[igor-savin-ht]

Then it makes sense.

[igor-savin-ht]

@nknapp Any chance you could release new version to npm and also new version of bootprint that would depend on it?

[nknapp]

I have just release version 1.0.2 which should resolve this problem and some other errors.

Thanks! I'll give it a spin tomorrow.
