MutationObserver feature support for node module's global object or specific objects.

[ganeshkbhat]

What is the problem this feature will solve?

Compatibility with Nodejs? MutationObserver will support Observers on global object or specific objects.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Can I use this MutationObserver for node module's objects declaration tracking and observing declared objects on current nodejs version 18.14.2 LTS, and 19.7.0 Current? Any polyfill also should do.

What alternatives have you considered?

None. Recommendation for support of similar feature; alternatively.

I think the MutationObserver is used to observe DOM, what you want is probably Proxy or defineProperty.

@meixg is right. I'll convert this to a discussion.

@meixg @bnoordhuis Do you think considering this for global object observer is a good thought? I do think so. However, this is a memory leak risk.

There's no DOM in node so what would be the point?
