I agree, I am not in favor of this implementation. I'd like to see this 
removed and have us, for static JS files, store a src/ version of the 
full one and the compressed version for production use.

Another reason I don't like this on-the-fly compression is that it 
means that any error line numbers in a js console aren't going to match 
a file. With compressed and full versions, at least you can match up 
the appropriate code.
