with() from dist/options.js causing SyntaxError in ECMAScript classes #16

Description

@Baedda

In line 151 inside dist/options.js the with statement is used. This is what MDN says about the use of with:

Warning: Use of the with statement is not recommended, as it may be the source of confusing bugs and compatibility issues. See the "Ambiguity Contra" paragraph in the "Description" section below for details.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/with

We are facing the issue, that if we import options.js from node_modules with a bundler that outputs an EcmaScript module the code breaks in the browser with the following SyntaxError:

strict mode code may not contain 'with' statements

We cannot disable strict mode as we are in an ESM environment using ECMAScript classes that are always strict.
