Unable to parse the # symbol for private methods of a class

[iShibi]

Describe the bug

ℹ️ I've opened a related issue at acornjs as requested: acornjs/acorn-class-fields#17

Vitest throws error when testing an instance of a class that implements a private method. The error occurs because private method's name starts with the # symbol which it is unable to parse.

The project that I'm trying to add vitest to: twitterjs/twitter.js#96

from the above mentioned issue:

As of Acorn 8.2.0 private fields and private methods are supported in Acorn without the need to use this (or another) plugin, I recommend upgrading Acorn.
