Security through obscurity is not security. This would be easy to translate back into the original code anyway. This is also not efficient from a file size perspective which is cancer on the web.

It'd have to be something that really had to be hidden, because most of these edge cases are very very slow to run.

Why? I believe you have more sophisticated ways of obfuscating code. Those tricks seem to be easy to reverse.
