 Currently there are 248 optional third (and forth, fifth) party
 dependencies in package-lock.json that don't seem needed.

 Running `npm install --no-optional` seems to still install many of them
 (presumably as they are needed by other dependencies) but reduces the
 overall size of node_modules by about 40MB and speeds things up a bit.
