Ideally we will be using closures by then and since it rewrites
functions, variable names and sometimes collapses multi-line
functionality, new line preservation will be a mute point. Furthermore,
Google even has a nice add-on to firebug [1] for source code mapping.
Making the dead horse even more dead.

I feel like we are suck back in time, arguing about optimising code that
came out eons ago in net time ( more than 7 years ago ) There are more
modern solutions that take into consideration these concerns and do a
better job at it. ( ie not just a readable line but a pointer back to
the line of source code that is of concern )
