Research direction

Start by inspecting the source-map generation path in browser-pack and how the prelude is packaged. Verify the resulting package includes a prelude.js.map alongside the prelude, and check the generated source map to confirm it no longer embeds only the compressed code.

Description

enhancement

Right now, browserify includes the compressed code in the source map, which isn't very helpful. It'd be nice to include a prelude.js.map with the package.
