'+' character in package.json

[BrianNewsom]

Hi,

At least on my machine, node doesn't seem to like the '+' character used in the name field of package.json. When I removed the '+' characters, it worked okay.

I ran npm install and got the following error

My issue is resolved but this should probably be fixed in case it affects others.

Thanks,
Brian

Weird. According to MS the only non-alllowed characters in are \ / ? : * " > < | (source). I would possibly report that to the Node team cuz "That Ain't Right" ™

Brian's fix was necessary to work on my machine as well. Thanks
