+The purpose of this file is to test that the node_modules check in the require
+hook doesn't mistakenly exclude something like "not_node_modules". To pass, this
+file merely needs to be transpiled. The transpiled code won't, and doesn't need
+to, execute without error. It won't execute because React will be undefined.
