+<!--
+A complete parsable JS program exhibiting the issue with UglifyJS alone
+- without third party tools or libraries.
+
+Ideally the input should be as small as possible, but may be large if isolating
+the problem proves to be difficult. The most important thing is that the
+standalone program reliably exhibits the bug when minified. Provide a link to a
+gist if necessary.
+
+Solely providing minified output without the original uglify JS input is not
+useful in determining the cause of the problem. Issues without a reproducible
+test case will be closed.

+**JavaScript output or error produced.**

+<!--
+Only minified code that produces different output (or error) from the original
