Previously we had a pattern of destructuring properties of global objects into top-level vars. e.g.:
```js
const { keys: ObjectKeys, hasOwn } = Object,
{ isArray } = Array;
```
Doing this is more performant, but it makes the code harder to read.
Instead, write code normally, and use a TSDown plugin to convert:
```js
const keys = Object.keys(obj);
```
to:
```js
import { ObjectKeys } from "../utils/globals.ts";
const keys = ObjectKeys(obj);
```
Defining all the destructured globals in a single file (`utils/globals.ts`) is advantageous for bundle size. If the TSDown plugin created top level `const ObjectKeys = Object.keys;` statements in each file, then you can end up with this in bundle as minifier doesn't de-duplicate:
```js
const ObjectKeys = Object.keys;
const ObjectKeys$1 = Object.keys;
const ObjectKeys$2 = Object.keys;
```
The globals we use have to be manually added to `utils/globals.ts`, but TSDown plugin warns when this needs to be done, and doesn't generate a broken build in the meantime.
This plugin is run in debug builds too, so that the tests will catch any bugs.
Pure refactor. Split JSON merging into multiple functions, exposing `deepFreezeJsonObject` and `deepFreezeJsonArray` methods. These are needed for merging rule options (#16217).
