Reduce the number of transitive dependencies

[IchordeDionysos]

The package still includes 78 direct/transitive dependencies, it would be nice if this number could be reduced even further!

I do appreciate the efforts you did and plan to do in #207 and #1743.

But especially when integrated into bigger projects this still adds quite a bit of baggage to the project and more risk for security vulnerabilities (like longer chains to update vulnerable dependency versions).

Thank you for opening this issue @IchordeDionysos. As you noted we have taken steps previously to reduce the number of dependencies. Please know that this is also an ongoing effort. I will update this issue accordingly as we move forward.

We have scoped out some dependencies that are reasonable to drop:

• refactor(deps): Remove stream-events dependency #1916
• refactor(deps): Remove pumpify dependency #1915
• refactor(deps): Remove extend dependency #1908
• refactor(deps)!: Remove html-entities dependency #1907
• refactor(deps): Remove get-stream dependency #1909
• refactor!(deps): Internalize crc32c Hashing Functionality #1910
• refactor(deps): Remove snakeize dependency #1911
• refactor(deps): Remove date-and-time dependency #1906

Closing this issue in favor of tracking this work there.
