> Especially considering "admzip" is a misspelling as you admit?

I don't think this is true. A quick look at https://github.com/cthackers/adm-zip

> var zip = new AdmZip("./my_file.zip");

It's entirely possible that a person could be querying the exact variable name "admzip" for a variety results that should only be code snippets of the by-convention "AdmZip" variable name with no concern for the package name "adm-zip", which, by the way, Google will interpret hyphens as just whitespace, so it's the equivalent of searching "adm zip".

I know this could be a case because I do this kind of programmatic search all the time, and in fact I remember specifically searching the web for "AdmZip" and not "adm-zip" a few years ago.

And if there are no good results for "AdmZip", that's fine! At least I can, at a glance, quickly know that there are not many code snippets across the web lying around with that conventional variable name.
