An ESnext spec-compliant String.prototype.isWellFormed shim/polyfill/replacement that works as far down as ES3.
This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES3-supported environment and complies with the expected ES2024 spec.
Because String.prototype.isWellFormed depends on a receiver (the this value), the main export takes the string to operate on as the first argument.
