@timmywil why was undefined removed? Shouldn't it protect jQuery from user overwriting the undefined variable? Thanks

@serbanghita It's because most projects don't protect against such overwriting so if anyone does that (but.. why?) they're already screwed on so many levels...

Isn't undefined turned into an undefined variable to reduce size on minification? Not familiarized with the codebase btw, just watching.

It wasn't saving us that much so the team agreed we'd rather not have it.

Is there any benefit in removing undefined?

@davidmurdoch There isn't enough benefit in having it. But yes, one benefit is that it clears up parameters for an eventual jQuery-creating factory (where jQuery could be re-created with a different context and we can document the factory's signature without worrying about this unnecessary undefined variable). We could do var undefined instead at the top of the closure, but like I said, there isn't enough benefit.

I do wonder what the GZIP byte diff is for undefined parameter vs var undefined, vs the omitted undefined? If you have them, can you publish them here?
