Question: why would I be fired for using React.__SECRET_DOM_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED? about react-lite

While I appreciate the humor, I see two reasons to consider changing this:

First, it's inefficient. It's a very long variable name that isn't replaced during minification, so it's technically wasting bandwidth. Not much, of course, but when else in programming would you intentionally do something less efficient for no apparent gain? __SECRET_DOM would be 72.7% smaller. If there really is a problem with developers using it, __SECRET_DOM_DO_NOT_USE would be 47.7% smaller. Even at a small scale, I couldn't pass up that kind of savings.

Second, if someone considering employment with a company views that company's source, sees that variable name, and thinks it's something the company added themselves... maybe not so great.
