Because --enable-source-maps is now a thing, Terser's readme and issue template should recommend it. It should be a lot easier to use than installing and requiring source-map-support in code you don't really control. Using it as part of the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable is especially interesting, because it affects Terser even if it was invoked from a child process.
