• ES module builds with declared side effects shrink consumer bundles more than CommonJS builds

  Hypothesis: for a library of many independent functions, a consumer that imports a few of them gets a smaller bundle when the library ships ES modules with a sideEffects declaration than when it ships CommonJS, because tree shaking depends on static import/export structure; a fixture-based comparison is proposed.
