- `sequences` -- join consecutive simple statements using the comma operator

- `properties` -- rewrite property access using the dot notation, for
example `foo["bar"] → foo.bar`

- `dead_code` -- remove unreachable code

- `drop_debugger` -- remove `debugger;` statements

- `unsafe` (default: false) -- apply "unsafe" transformations (discussion below)

- `conditionals` -- apply optimizations for `if`-s and conditional
expressions
+
- `comparisons` -- apply certain optimizations to binary nodes, for example:
`!(a <= b) → a > b` (only when `unsafe`), attempts to negate binary nodes,
e.g. `a = !b && !c && !d && !e → a=!(b||c||d||e)` etc.

- `evaluate` -- attempt to evaluate constant expressions

- `booleans` -- various optimizations for boolean context, for example `!!a
? b : c → a ? b : c`

- `loops` -- optimizations for `do`, `while` and `for` loops when we can
statically determine the condition
+
- `unused` -- drop unreferenced functions and variables

- `hoist_funs` -- hoist function declarations
+
- `hoist_vars` (default: false) -- hoist `var` declarations (this is `false`
by default because it seems to increase the size of the output in general)

- `if_return` -- optimizations for if/return and if/continue

- `join_vars` -- join consecutive `var` statements
+
- `cascade` -- small optimization for sequences, transform `x, x` into `x`
and `x = something(), x` into `x = something()`
+
- `warnings` -- display warnings when dropping unreachable code or unused
declarations etc.
+
- `negate_iife` -- negate "Immediately-Called Function Expressions"
where the return value is discarded, to avoid the parens that the
code generator would insert.

### The `unsafe` option
It enables some transformations that *might* break code logic in certain
