Comment:

 Very valid comments George!

 Yes - it's probably around 1MB uncompressed, maybe 300kb compressed that
 would be saved.

 And I totally agree it would then be difficult to debug.

 In the interests of completeness though, what I have suggested does not in
 any way violate GPL (at least not GNU GPL version 3), since so long as a
 user is made aware of where they can get to the source, it does not need
 to be included with the minified version of the code. More about that is
 explained in this article and in its corresponding links:
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/javascript-labels.html

 Conclusion: I'll move this to wontfix.
