 This is a follow-up to #47020.

 The minification of `jquery.js` in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/45342 is not compatible with
 IE<=8.

 The error is:
 > SCRIPT1028: Expected identifier, string or number
 > jquery.js (4,13727)

 It's caused by

     propFix:{for:"htmlFor",class:"className"}

 because `for` and `class`, being reserved words, need to be in quotes.

 I know that WordPress 5.2.x no longer supports IE8 (see #47761).  However
 the change has been ported back as far as WordPress 4.5.x
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/46027), which I'm pretty sure
 **is** supposed to support IE8.
