Uglifyjs: Output is different when generated using CLI and programmatically.

[urbanmichal]

• Bug report or feature request?
  Bug report.
• uglify-js version (uglifyjs -V)
  2.8.14
• JavaScript input - ideally as small as possible.
  var result = uglifyJS.minify( [ distUwpNextAppJsFilePath ] ); fs.writeFileSync( distUwpNextAppJsFilePath, result.code );
• The uglifyjs CLI command executed or minify() options used.
  uglifyjs theSameFile > theSameFile2
• An example of JavaScript output produced and/or the error or warning.

Note: the release version of uglify-js only supports ES5. Those wishing to minify ES6 should use the experimental harmony branch.

minify() enables compress and mangle by default.

To get the same effect from the CLI use:

uglifyjs theSameFile -m -c

@alexlamsl We should wrap an HTML comment around this line in the Issue template:

Note: the release version of uglify-js only supports ES5. Those wishing to minify ES6 should use the experimental harmony branch.

<!--

-->

Also should change this line:

* Bug report or feature request?

to

* Bug report or feature request? <!-- Note: suboptimal but correct code is not a bug -->

Should we put the following at the start of the Issue template?

<!-- Fill out all sections. Issues not following this template will be closed. -->

I'd prefer to keep that as a gentlemen's agreement, if that's alright with you. 😅

Alright. You're much nicer than I am.
