Almost that, but no need to parse the JS, just not remove it from the final
script. For example, I could use an include:

$ cat my-boring-polyfill-but-very-required.js
SomeClass.prototype.fooBar = (function() {
  alert("Oh yes, baby!");
});

$ cat myawesomeprogram.pp
program myawesomeprogram;

procedure fooBar;
asm
  {$I 'my-boring-polyfiil-but-very-required.js'}
end;

(just explaining, I don't tried includes yet ...)

then the compiler just include 'my-boring-polyfill-but-very-required.js'
and keep it in the final script, without parsing/removing it.

I understood that the only way to do that is by adding some dummy code in
the asm block or doing some explicit reference to the Pascal code, so maybe
I'm dreaming high desiring a better alternative to solve this. 😀

For example:

It sounds good (by using directive). Any plans to support something like
this (in future)?

best,
