Caveat with UglifyJS pre v3.1.0

babel-helper-annotate-as-pure will append any existing leading comments to the #__PURE__ annotation. Versions of UglifyJS prior to v3.1.0 will ignore these annotations, as they only check the last leading comment for the annotation.

For example, using the Usage snippet above:

In

const four = /* foo */ add(2, 2);

Out

const four = /* #__PURE__ */ /* foo */ add(2, 2);
