new Function() constructor with dynamic body
What it detects
new Function(...) is eval by another name and executes whatever string is passed in.
How it runs
Applied line-by-line via a tagged regex with language-specific gating. Comments are skipped. Designed for high-confidence patterns where AST parsing would be overkill.
