@putout/plugin-remove-useless-new v2.3.2

@putout/plugin-remove-useless-new

🐊Putout plugin adds ability to remove useless operator new. Which has no sense for BigInt, Boolean, String, Number, Object, RegExp, Error:

Thus the function call Error(…) is equivalent to the object creation expression new Error(…) with the same arguments.

And Symbol cannot be used with new, as it is primitive. Part of @putout/plugin-new.
