Small enhancement to the package creation boilerplate comments could be helpful
Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue
Just created and used my first package, and it works great but took a little longer than it needed to to get it working. Spent 15 or 20 minutes trying to debug but kept seeing the following in the console:
Error: Cannot find package '{mypackage}' Ultimately I found the helpdoc that illuminated the answer: https://learning.postman.com/docs/tests-and-scripts/write-scripts/package-library/#add-a-new-package
Which explains that, instead of this, which is what the default boilerplate comments in the new package show:
// Once exported, use this statement in your scripts to use the package.
// const myPackage = pm.require('<package_name>')
I needed this:
// Once exported, use this statement in your scripts to use the package.
// const myPackage = pm.require('@<team_name>/<package_name>')
Just feedback on a small improvement that could save people time and help adopt the feature.
Steps To Reproduce
- Go to Package Library
