`Object.keys()` @nosideeffects semantics is not applied consistently

[KimlikDAO-bot]

In certain cases, unused Object.keys() is not elided.

Consider

Object.keys({
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
});

google-closure-compiler --js a.js -O ADVANCED outputs [JSC_USELESS_CODE] however

const a = Object.keys({
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
});

google-closure-compiler --js a.js -O ADVANCED outputs Object.keys({a:1,b:2});

Namely assigning an Object.keys() to an unused variable leads to elimination of the variable but not the method call.

The externs definition seems correct but something else is interfering.

Thank you for the report! We'll take a look at this when we can.
