E0052: unexpected '#'

In JavaScript, # is used for private properties and for shebangs at the beginning of a file (e.g. #!/usr/bin/env node). (# does not start a comment.) It is an error to use # anywhere else:

class Auth {
  #password;

  authenticate() {
    # synchronous (blocking)
    sendMessage(encrypt(this.# password));
  }
}

To fix this error, write the property's name after #, and use // for line comments:

class Auth {
  #password;

  authenticate() {
    // synchronous (blocking)
    sendMessage(encrypt(this.#password));
  }
}

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
