Find global leaks

Detecting which module is causing a global leak can be tedious. Add these lines at the very beginning of your tests, or in a file which is included via --require:

Object.defineProperty(global, "name_of_leaking_property", {
set: function (value) {
throw new Error("Found the leak!");
},
});

This will print a stacktrace that shows which module caused the leak. And if it’s not yours—go open a pull request! :)
