Research direction

Start by locating where the uglifyjs version is declared and how the shown command is invoked for prelude.js. Check the generated _prelude.js and source map with a version newer than 3.12.4, then compare the output size and compatibility. Done means the newer version is used without breaking the build and the requested size improvement is verified.

Description

Hi,

we use the following command line:
uglifyjs -m --ie8 -c sequences=true,unused=false,toplevel=true --source-map --output _prelude.js < prelude.js

Could you please update to newer uglify.js ? Bonus point we improve prelude by 20 bytes
