 ## Compress options
 
-- `sequences` (default: true) -- join consecutive simple statements using the
-  comma operator.  May be set to a positive integer to specify the maximum number
-  of consecutive comma sequences that will be generated. If this option is set to
-  `true` then the default `sequences` limit is `200`. Set option to `false` or `0`
-  to disable. The smallest `sequences` length is `2`. A `sequences` value of `1`
-  is grandfathered to be equivalent to `true` and as such means `200`. On rare
-  occasions the default sequences limit leads to very slow compress times in which
-  case a value of `20` or less is recommended.

-- `unsafe` (default: false) -- apply "unsafe" transformations (discussion below)
-
-- `unsafe_comps` (default: false) -- Reverse `<` and `<=` to `>` and `>=` to
-  allow improved compression. This might be unsafe when an at least one of two
-  operands is an object with computed values due the use of methods like `get`,
-  or `valueOf`. This could cause change in execution order after operands in the
-  comparison are switching. Compression only works if both `comparisons` and
-  `unsafe_comps` are both set to true.
-
-- `unsafe_Func` (default: false) -- compress and mangle `Function(args, code)`
-  when both `args` and `code` are string literals.

+  and `x = something(), x` into `x = something()`
