      Problem Description

      The Node.js driver uses

      try { require('...') } catch {}
      

      to load optional dependencies. That does not always play well with JS bundlers or other source code transformations, where `require()` may fall back to searching the filesystem instead of the bundle.

      It would be nice if the driver provided a way to pass in these dependencies programatically, leaving the actual `require()` call to its consumer.

      This could (for example) come in the form of options passed to the MongoClient constructor/connect method, or one or more global functions on the driver exports object itself for storing the modules.
