  I have a few modules that are just a single function, such as Soundex [1],
the Y-combinator [2], Roman numberal conversion [3] and some other ones [4].
I've been hesitant to publish them just because of npm (well, rather the
whole npm leftpad fiasco).

[2]	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator#Fixed_point_combinators_in_lambda_calculus

[3]	From a number (integer) to Roman numeral (string), or from Roman
	numeral (string) to a number.

[4]	A "safestring" conversion routine, the core RFC BNF rules in LPeg, a
	function to do a hexdump, stuff like that ...
