 While `single-spa` asks you to shape your module exports in a particular way (the lifecycle functions), *CollageJS* imposes no such restriction.  It is just not necessary.  Just make sure you can get an object of type `CorePiece` to the `<Piece>` component of your preferred framework.  Then use your framework's marvels to make the `<Piece>` component appear or disappear.
 
-Yes, you'll still be working with import maps.  They are super handy.  We provide an enhanced (and simplified at the same time) version of `import-map-overrides` named `@collagejs/imo`.  It only supports the `overridable-importmap` type (and therefore only native import maps for native ES modules), but carries support for our `@collagejs/aim` plug-in that let's you statically import from micro-frontends.  **That's right!
