Hi everyone, I was running some experiments with UglifyJS lately and so I stumbled upon this RFC which shows that if I've not discovered anything new, we can still get ~15% smaller JS files.

Now, it's also about supporting newer versions of ECMAScript (if we don't target full backward compatibility, of course), because it seems to me that unlike UglifyJS, JSMin+ has not been updated for a while and could choke on some valid syntax with error messages that are not exactly… explicit for casual JS developers (I've experimented that a few weeks ago with local scripts making use of reserved words as identifiers — not exactly valid code, indeed, but code that had worked for years in most browsers). Has the RFC been abandonned because of lack of interest?
