Agreed. Or better yet, not said at all. Since we evidently no longer
have a benevolent dictator whose word we all accept without question,
we need to work amicably to resolve disputes, and getting into fights
about <1% size savings vs. dubious increases in readability is really
not useful. At least get into fights about something *significant*.
(FWIW, I was and am against removing *all* newlines from JS output,
but I'm fine with collapsing consecutive newlines. This way errors
will actually point to a recognizable line.)
