Microlibrary for use by webpack to avoid babel implicitly importing core-js polyfills
In your client side code use require('babel-polyfill-silencer') on the first line. This is only necessary if you want to avoid a race condition if loading a Symbol polyfill asynchronously, e.g. https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/docs/
