    This also explains why in NodeSecure we have a "hasCustomResolver" flag allowing quick identification of packages using resolutions to dependencies that diverge from the usual.

    In the NodeSecure/scanner these methods are used at different stages of the analysis. When we browse the dependency tree for example we use the manifest() method with the range version (or specifier) of the package.

What are some alternatives?
