*naked-objects* installs a Node loader hook that transforms each loaded JavaScript file
and expands `<>` syntax into `Object.create(null)`

```js
var foo = <>;
foo.bar = 'bar'; // use just like normal objects
```

Because naked objects do not inherit from Object, there are no weird cases like

```js
{} + {}     // NaN
var foo = <>;
foo + foo   // TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value
```
