What does the engine metadata do?

[iMacTia]

The README says that you can make your package an engine, but it's unclear what difference that actually makes.
Could this be clarified and/or documented?

Hi @iMacTia -- This feature will promote your pack into a Rails Engine. It basically creates (dynamically / automatically) a namespace for your pack and adds namespace isolation.

You can do that the nifty things you normally get with an Engine... eg mount its routes, scoped url helpers, or table name prefix.

Interesting! Thank you for clarifying 🙏 !

Ah. This was quite confusing to me since I'm used to using engines without namespace isolation. I'll put up a PR to add details to the README.
