Size increased greatly in 6.10.0 due to getSideChannel

I happened to check lib size in Bundlephobia before updating package and noticed the size has increased from 10 kB minified to 30 kB minified. From lib user viewpoint this is not an acceptable change.

Commit 7c1fcc53 dist/qs.js exposes it was the addition of getSideChannel that caused this.

As promised, PR is done, it’s breaking change free and reduces the size of side channel by 19Kb, that is if using the require('side-channel/withoutInspector.js) file with the inspector it would be reduced by only 10Kb

That’s a perfectly reasonable choice as well - although USP doesn’t support nested params, which is a very commonly needed feature in web dev.

The replacement I provided above seems like it should be more than sufficient if you only support WeakMaps.

I would definitely consider an option to disable cycle checking, though, and do a conditional require so that your bundler wouldn’t even include side-channel unless you wanted it.
