Can't say I've used it, but I remember bookmarking it to look at later a year or so ago, but it doesn't look actively maintained?

Yeh how would you let people know it depends on this. Shall I get them to install it themselves so it’s really explicit or do I do it as a nuget dependency and this other thing gets magically installed for them

Don't reinvent the wheel, I'd say! Too much work to put all that plumbing in your package if someone else already did all the hard work for you!
