eyeglass import is not consistent with rails/bower/node/etc

[fivetanley]

In #1007, Eyeglass support was added. This was a great improvement for us as it allowed us to pull more dependencies in through npm.

We have a sass library that works both in Rails's asset pipeline and in other ecosystems. The eyeglass import having a different name in Eyeglass unfortunately makes us choose between only supporting building through eyeglass, or not having eyeglass support and having everything else work.

For example, in Rails:

@import "bootstrap";

But in eyeglass:

@import "bootstrap-sass/bootstrap";

If you look at the README in its current state you can see how consistent it is until you get down to the Eyeglass section.

This could be fixed by adding a name field to the eyeglass section package.json for bootstrap-sass:

{
  "name": "bootstrap-sass",
  "version": "1.1.0",
  "eyeglass": {
    "name": "bootstrap",
    "needs": "^0.6.7",
    "exports": "eyeglass-exports.js"
  }

For consistency, I think it would be great if you could @import "bootstrap" in any ecosystem and have it work.

This would be a breaking change for anybody currently using eyeglass, but an easy fix to implement (change your import statements to "@import bootstrap").

@iammikecohen I'd love to hear your input here as you championed the first pull request. There may be a historical reason for the name difference that I'm missing.

Yes, this should absolutely be done.

@glebm I assume this is out of the question due to SemVer?
