optimize (as well as minify) JS?

would be cool to see options like this as long as they are relevant, but this expands the scope of this module to an optimizer as well

It seems like this is an example of trying to be too clever by half. I'm more inclined to write logical code and let people like the V8 team handle optimisation on their end.
