Ben Lesh d7eaae6f22 refactor(ivy): Move instructions back to ɵɵ (#30546)
There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character

So back to the frog eyes we go.

```
    __
   /ɵɵ\
  ( -- ) - I am ineffable. I am forever.
 _/    \_
/  \  /  \
==  ==  ==

fake_core is a library designed to expose some of the same symbols as @angular/core, without requiring compilation of the whole of @angular/core. This enables unit tests for the compiler to be written without incurring long rebuilds for every change.

  • @angular/core is compiled with @angular/compiler-cli, and therefore has an implicit dependency on it. Therefore core must be rebuilt if the compiler changes.
  • Tests for the compiler which intend to build code that depends on @angular/core must have a data dependency on @angular/core. Therefore core must be built to run the compiler tests, and thus rebuilt if the compiler changes.

This rebuild cycle is expensive and slow. fake_core avoids this by exposing a subset of the @angular/core API, which enables applications to be built by the ngtsc compiler without needing a full version of core present at compile time.
