Since we really don't want to let a particular Webpack-mode dictate how we can/can't write code, let's add a note in the webpack-example README about minification instead.

Overview
Example to demonstrate PDF.js library usage with Webpack.
Getting started
Install the example dependencies and build the project:
$ gulp dist-install
$ cd examples/webpack
$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js
You can observe the build results by running gulp server and navigating to
http://localhost:8888/examples/webpack/index.html.
Refer to the main.js and webpack.config.js files for the source code.
Note that PDF.js packaging requires packaging of the main application and
the worker code, and the workerSrc path shall be set to the latter file.
Minification
If you are configuring Webpack to output a minified build, please note that you must configure the minifier to keep original class/function names intact; otherwise the build is not guaranteed to work correctly.
Worker loading
If you are getting the Setting up fake worker warning, make sure you are
importing pdfjs-dist/webpack which is the zero-configuration method for
Webpack users. You will need to install
worker-loader (version 3.0.0 or higher is required), as a
dependency in your project in order to use pdfjs-dist/webpack (configuring
worker-loader is not necessary; just installing it is sufficient).
import pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist/webpack';
