           // Prevent the function from being optimized through dead code elimination 
        
           // or further optimizations. This code is never reached but even using eval 
        
           // in unreachable code causes v8 to not optimize functions. 
        
           eval(obj);

Why is this an issue for you? Is that an error message from a linter that accidentally ran across your node_modules folder?

Yes, a scan that included node_modules.
I needed to show that I followed through on an issue found, besides just highlighting it.

	// Prevent the function from being optimized through dead code elimination
	// or further optimizations. This code is never reached but even using eval
	// in unreachable code causes v8 to not optimize functions.
	eval(obj);
