- remove overlap in functionality of singular, consecutive reference of constant value
- remove workarounds for previous bugs in `lib/scope.js`
- distribute recursive `collapse_single_use_vars()` calls to their respective `OPT(AST_Node)`
- enable collapsing of variables within a single `AST_Definitions`
- property access to `null` & `undefined` always has side effects
- utilise `reduce_vars` to determine safe property access
- may-be cases treated as side effects unless `unsafe`
- #1634 bars variables with cross-scope references in between to collapse
- but if assigned value is side-effect-free, no states can be modified, so it is safe to move
That particular version of Node.js has messed up error messages, so provide a version-specific workaround.
Also fixed an formatting issue which would cause `expect_stdout` to fail if error message contains excerpts of input.
Apply `expect_stdout` to more applicable tests.
- assign statement does not count towards variable usage by default
- only works with assignments on the same scope level as declaration
- can be disabled with `unused` set to "keep_assign"
- `toplevel` to drop unused top-level variables and/or functions
- `top_retain` to whitelist top-level exceptions
