Support global as alias of globalThis where possible

[ExE-Boss]

The main reasoning is that this is very confusing in the context of JavaScript due to it being a horrible mess that was originally created by a single developer for Netscape Navigator.

See also #31 for more reasoning.

(I really, really hate the name globalThis, even more than using window and I much prefer the technological purity of plain global)

At the very least, I would want global to be supported in modules by default.

Because of the above, I tend to do:

if (!("global" in window) || global !== window) {
	Object.defineProperty(window, "global", {
		get() {
			return window;
		}
	});
}

Then, I just use global as alias of window.

Thanks for your feedback!

global is not web-compatible, in Scripts or Modules, because it's used as environment detection (to distinguish node and browsers). Please see the list of constraints for more information: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-global/blob/master/NAMING.md

I still prefer, and will keep using, global over globalThis.
