Provide ES5 version for browser environment

See original GitHub issue

Hi @sindresorhus. Can you please provide ES5 version so it can work in older browsers that doesn’t support arrow functions and other goodies. I use webpack and babel-loader in my project but I don’t transpile any modules from node_modules directory:

  test: /\.js$/,
  exclude: /node_modules/,
  loader: 'babel-loader',
}

So… it would be to at least have a choice between ES5 and ES6 version. Thanks 😃

We aim for Node.js, not the browser. You can find a more detailed explanation here https://github.com/sindresorhus/ama/issues/446

@stevemao You know could have actually made a useful module if you checked the “engine” field instead.
