The option could be something like:
…or es2015 or a more generic esnext.
A simple example of what it would do:
var foo = function(a) {
return a * 2;
};
…currently minifies to:
var foo=function(a){return a*2}
With ES.next syntax it could be:
(Only watch out for function bodies that make use of the this binding.)
There’s far more things that could be done, e.g. string literals containing new line characters or lots of quotes could sometimes be shortened by using template strings, etc.
