I don't think I'd include this check, tbh, since this is something that should be controlled / fixed at "develop-time", rather than runtime.

My only idea on how to check this at "develop-time" would be what I did here.

Sorry, what I meant was that we should be verifying as we develop that we're not including unnecessary calls to insertBefore. Otherwise, we're shopping extra bytes that don't actually do anything at runtime.

we should be verifying as we develop

Agreed, and the error is supposed to make all tests related to that language fail so that the dev notices that he/she broke something.

Example:

languages.foo = extend('bar', {});
insertBefore('foo', 'baz', { ... }); // 'baz' is defined in 'bar'

If somebody then removes bar, that will break foo without him/her ever knowing.
Sure, tests are supposed to prevent that from happening but I think it's better to check at the source of the error.

Also, another reason why I think that check is necessary: How do you expect insertBefore to behave when before is not present in root[inside]?
My first guess wouldn't have been: It just creates a deep copy of root[inside] and updates all references it can find.
I actually expect this to throw an error in that case.

The basic problem is that we're adding code to throw in a case that, if we code up the languages right, will never happen in production, so we're shipping code to end users that only benefits developers.

I understand the perspective of what's "right" for the function to do, but I think that only applies insofar as a function like this is primarily internal, rather than an API we are exposing to users.

Then an insertBefore.test (like here) might be the best solution.
It behaves "right" during development but doesn't include the checks for the users.

That would be better. Or a custom ESLint plugin that checks this (it should be verifiable statically).

If you're planning on going the ESLint route, let's just merge this without the check and implement that separately.

I'll just remove the check for now so we can merge this.
