Comment:

 In [changeset:"60907" 60907]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60907"
 General: Optimize `wp.sanitize.stripTags()` to improve memory usage.

 This updates the logic to use iteration instead of recursive calls,
 resulting in reduced memory usage and avoiding a possible stack overflow
 for large HTML documents.

 The JS code is also tidied up with improved JSDoc and utilizing `let`
 instead of `var`.

 Props jrchamp, sabernhardt, SirLouen, rollybueno, mukesh27, flixos90,
 westonruter.
 Fixes #48054.
