[*Example of usage*](https://tinyurl.com/2mknex43):
```js
import 'core-js/actual';

Promise.resolve(42).then(it => console.log(it)); // => 42

Array.from(new Set([1, 2, 3]).union(new Set([3, 4, 5]))); // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

[1, 2].flatMap(it => [it, it]); // => [1, 1, 2, 2]

(function * (i) { while (true) yield i++; })(1)
  .drop(1).take(5)
  .filter(it => it % 2)
  .map(it => it ** 2)
  .toArray(); // => [9, 25]

structuredClone(new Set([1, 2, 3])); // => new Set([1, 2, 3])
```

*You can load only required features*:
```js
import 'core-js/actual/promise';
import 'core-js/actual/set';
import 'core-js/actual/iterator';
import 'core-js/actual/array/from';
import 'core-js/actual/array/flat-map';
import 'core-js/actual/structured-clone';

Promise.resolve(42).then(it => console.log(it)); // => 42

Array.from(new Set([1, 2, 3]).union(new Set([3, 4, 5]))); // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

[1, 2].flatMap(it => [it, it]); // => [1, 1, 2, 2]

(function * (i) { while (true) yield i++; })(1)
  .drop(1).take(5)
  .filter(it => it % 2)
  .map(it => it ** 2)
  .toArray(); // => [9, 25]

structuredClone(new Set([1, 2, 3])); // => new Set([1, 2, 3])
```

*Or use it without global namespace pollution*:
```js
import Promise from 'core-js-pure/actual/promise';
import Set from 'core-js-pure/actual/set';
import Iterator from 'core-js-pure/actual/iterator';
import from from 'core-js-pure/actual/array/from';
import flatMap from 'core-js-pure/actual/array/flat-map';
import structuredClone from 'core-js-pure/actual/structured-clone';

Promise.resolve(42).then(it => console.log(it)); // => 42

from(new Set([1, 2, 3]).union(new Set([3, 4, 5]))); // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

flatMap([1, 2], it => [it, it]); // => [1, 1, 2, 2]

Iterator.from(function * (i) { while (true) yield i++; }(1))
  .drop(1).take(5)
  .filter(it => it % 2)
  .map(it => it ** 2)
  .toArray(); // => [9, 25]

structuredClone(new Set([1, 2, 3])); // => new Set([1, 2, 3])
```
