 Replying to [comment:20 iandunn]:

 plugin development where I get errors like `TypeError: n is undefined`.
 Knowing the real variable name and line number would give some insight
 into the underlying problem.

 This is what brought me here. One cannot debug without knowing exactly
 where the error was thrown. The minified versions obscure that
 information, specifically the line number and the variable names.

 In regards to increasing download size, the uncompressed jQuery 2.2.1 file
 is under 300 Kib:
 http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.1.js

 That will compress to well below 100 KiB. Adding 100 KiB to the 7.4 MiB
 (zipped) or 6.8 MiB (tarball) Wordpress 4.4.2 is beyond negligible. If
 size really were a concern, the rest of Wordpress (PHP) could be minified
 with an order of magnitude better result.
