Description
When I set webpack config `mode: 'production'`,it throw error:
```
ERROR in http.min.js from Terser
"Export" statement may only appear at the top level [http.min.js:1161,0]
```
But when I set `mode: 'development'`,it works...I can't figure out why.
```js
// http.js
const http = () => {}
http.version = '__version__';
export default http;
```
```js
// webpack.build-lib.js
const path = require('path');
const ReplacePlugin = require('../lib/webpack-plugin-replace');
const rootPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '..');
const pkg = require('../package.json');
const libName = 'http';
const entryFile = path.resolve(rootPath, `src/${libName}.js`);
module.exports = {
entry: entryFile,
mode: 'production',
output: {
path: path.resolve(rootPath, 'lib'),
filename: `${libName}.min.js`,
libraryTarget: 'umd2',
libraryExport: 'default',
},
plugins: [
new ReplacePlugin({
exclude: [
/node_modules/,
],
patterns: [{
regex: /__version__/g,
value: pkg.version,
}],
}),
],
};
```

Research direction
Start with http.js and webpack.build-lib.js, then run the production build that uses mode: 'production' and Terser; compare it with the development build. Trace how the ReplacePlugin output reaches lib/http.min.js and determine why the export is no longer at the top level. Done means the production build completes without the reported Terser error.
