Hi again,

The other day, I noticed a piece of code I had recently ported to 0.8
didn't work anymore with the "build" version. As I expected, it turned
out to be a "private variables optimization" issue: I inherited from
qx.ui.table.model.Simple and reused _rowArr (since it was protected
and not private in 0.7): why was it changed to private anyway?

My issue is that to simply turn off "private variable optimization", I
had to copy-paste a whole bunch of stuff from base.json: the
"build-script", "build-files", "build-resources" and "build" jobs, as
well as the "common" job (that I renamed since I already had a job
named "common").

Is there another easier/quicker way? Does it really make sense to
limit the jobs you can reuse by the explicit "export", wouldn't it be
better to simply "export" all jobs? I understand you don't want all
jobs to appear when doing a ./generate "?", but limiting exports is
painful. I see two other solutions to this: 1) explicitly export all
these jobs, so that I could have simply inherited from build-script
and change the "optimize" key. 2) introduce *yet* another variable in
the "let" section with optimizations.


Another question: in the documentation for the "compile-dist" key,
there is this:
format : true/false, for simple output formatting

Could anybody explain (preferrably in that documentation) what does
that mean exactly?

Also, it is documented as true/false, yet it is "on" in base.json.
I guess "on" is equivalent to true, but it's still incorrect...

PS: please don't take my repeated criticism badly. I really
appreaciate what you guys are doing. It's great!
