Can't make an alias that points towards a built-in node dependency

[tex0l]

Hi,
Some of the packages (namely from2 or tar-stream) I use use readable-stream which is a polyfill of the native node stream, and I want to use another polyfill (namely the ones used by rollup-plugin-node-builtins) since readable-stream doesn't work when packaging with rollup.

I wanted to use rollup-plugin-alias to replace programmatically every require('readable-stream') with require('stream'). But when I do that, I get this error:

[!] Error: Could not load stream (imported by /path/to/node_modules/from2/index.js): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'stream'

Apparently, I can't force rollup-plugin-alias not to resolve the paths, would it be possible to make an exception for node built-in modules ?

As a workaround, I've come up with a very ugly hack using rollup-plugin-replace with this config:

    replace({
      [`readable-stream`]: `require('stream')`,
      include: 'node_modules/from2/index.js',
      delimiters: ['require(\'', '\')']
    })

Hey folks. This is a saved-form message, but rest assured we mean every word. The Rollup team is attempting to clean up the Issues backlog in the hopes that the active and still-needed, still-relevant issues bubble up to the surface. With that, we're closing issues that have been open for an eon or two, and have gone stale like pirate hard-tack without activity.

We really appreciate the folks have taken the time to open and comment on this issue. Please don't confuse this closure with us not caring or dismissing your issue, feature request, discussion, or report. The issue will still be here, just in a closed state. If the issue pertains to a bug, please re-test for the bug on the latest version of Rollup and if present, please tag @shellscape and request a re-open, and we'll be happy to oblige.
