Note

This is a docs/readme suggestion to help understand this package better when used in a project

Description of suggestion

Enhancement to the docs suggested, because it would be good to know if check-peer-dependencies is build from the standpoint of npm < 7 or npm 7, 8+. Since npm 7.0 had a major change in the way peer dependencies are treated (they are installed along with subdependencies, whereas in npm 6 and below, one had to add peers in their own project's dependencies).

I'm not sure whether --findSolutions is finding solutions for the npm 6 or npm 7+ lockfile model.

I wrote this tooling for yarn 1.x, but threw in npm (6 and earlier) support just for fun. I haven't personally used npm 7 yet. I think this tool should work fine with npm 7, but can't confirm with any confidence. What has been your experience using it on a npm 7 project? Shouldn't all the peer deps already be satisfied if npm auto-installs them?
