Beschreibung
const f = 0; is considered by Prepack to be totally dead. But it's not: the top-level lexical scope is shared across scripts, just below the global scope. So while that may not be a global declaration, in that it does not create a property of the global object, it is available to other code on the page just as if it had been var instead of const; other scripts can write console.log(f) to print 0. In that sense it is not safe to eliminate.
This may or may not be a bug, depending on your perspective. I'm just not sure what things prepack considers dead: { const f = 0; } definitely is, var f = 0; definitely isn't, but this is kind of in-between.
