"use strict" converted to hexa breaks strict mode

See original GitHub issue

Maybe an “exclude” option could be useful for string to hexa. Additionally, strings are always converted to hexadecimal code. Since it’s not difficult to decrypt hexa, could you please make this optional ?

function is_strict(){
    'use strict'; // <------- broken
    var is_strict = false;
    try {
        mistypeVariable = 17;  // throws a ReferenceError in strict mode
    } catch(e) {
        is_strict = true;
    }
    return is_strict;
}
alert('strict mode = '+is_strict());

//function is_strict() {
//    '\x75\x73\x65\x20\x73\x74\x72\x69\x63\x74';
//    var _0x2d65e3 = ![];
//    try {
//        mistypeVariable = 0x11;
//    } catch (_0x457d9d) {
//        _0x2d65e3 = !![];
//    }
//    return _0x2d65e3;
//}
//alert('\x73\x74\x72\x69\x63\x74\x20\x6d\x6f\x64\x65\x20\x3d\x20' + is_strict());
