gulp-obfuscate Obfuscator brakes the code

Obfuscator brakes working code after processing and not working correctly with gulp-sourcemaps. My task looks like the following:

return gulp.src(paths.src.js)
        .pipe(gulpif((process.env.ENV !== "production"), sourcemaps.init()))
            .pipe(concat("all.js"))
            .pipe(obfuscate({
                replaceMethod: obfuscate.ZALGO
            }))
            .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulpif((process.env.ENV !== "production"), sourcemaps.write()))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.dist.js));

Uglify is optional of course and the same thing happens without it. First of all sourcemaps are not supported, but it's not the most important case.

There are a lot of broken code reporting errors such as undefined is not a function or cannot access property of undefined. For example this happens for Object.keys method and other core javascript methods as well as global variables and variables inside clojures. Tried to add such keywords to exclude but can't get rid of all errors.

same here. one example for all: function test(){} alert('test') is changed to functionಠ_ಠ727() {} alert("ಠ_ಠ727") as you can see, string inside alert was changed because there was a function named test. correct output should be alert('test') (its the same with single or double quotes) also a space between function and a changed function name ಠ_ಠ727 was removed. correct output should be function ಠ_ಠ727() {}

This also breaks an AngularJS application. Meaning: [ "$http", function($http) { has to always be: [ "$http", function( ಠ_ಠ727 ) { instead of: [ "ಠ_ಠ727", function( ಠ_ಠ727 ) {
