Normal Member Access

Normal member access is done with the dot . operator:

joe = {
    name = 'Joe'
}
joe.name == 'Joe'

Member Mapping

To map an array of objects to an array of their members, use the .* operator:

joe = {name = 'Joe'}
jenny = {name = 'Jenny'}
john = {name = 'John'}
contacts = [joe, jenny, john]
contacts.*name == ['Joe', 'John', 'Jenny']

Conditional Mapping

To return the member if the object is not nil, or otherwise to return nil, use the .? operator:

joe = {name = 'Joe'}
nobody = nil

joe.?name == 'Joe'
nobody.?name == nil

According to the documentation, you can have Closure Compiler add the sourceMappingURL to the bottom of the script with something like this:

--output_wrapper "%output%
//# sourceMappingURL=output.js.map"

being added to your call. Not that you cannot use "\n" here, and you need a newline literal. On a Linux shell this works just fine (if you're inside of quotes when you press enter, the command doesn't get executed).
