title: How avoid having /******/ in front of each line in Javascript/Node Bundles?
body: <p><em>Update:</em>
  <br/>
  I work in Node.js test project (using <strong>WebPack</strong>), where inside the development builds (app.js) in start of each line, there is</p>
  <pre><code>/******/
  </code></pre>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jZ5h6.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jZ5h6.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>So, as it seems a common behavior, is there any well-known way to remove them? (in Production/minified version they don't exist. However, switching the mode to <code>production</code> is not an accepted solution for this problem).</p>
  <hr />
  <p>extra info:
  Just for your interest, here is reason why I want: it might not be a big deal, I know that they are only in development mode, however while the app.js is around <code>5 Mb</code> and having thousands of lines, those extra characters might end up in around 100kb, causing theoretical slowdown (say, XXX milliseconds ) of the loading of the app.js, and why we (developers) should loose i.e. on each page refresh?</p>
