Suggestion: Add a marker (comment) that prevents the minifier from renaming table keys

the workaround is { ['name'] = value, ... } but it increases the size a bit

This is in the works, as part of a large-scale set of changes being made to the minification process.

There is currently no simple way to implement this - so please bear with the long wait

Workaround for an issue (increased size) caused by this workaround:
Probably breaks at least some programs

function onLBBuildFileComplete(_, name, _, minimizedText, _, _)
    local file = assert(io.open(
        "./out/release/"..name:lower(),
        'wb'
    ))
    local mini2 = minimizedText:gsub("%['[a-z,_]'%]=", function(match)
        return ({match:gsub("%['", ""):gsub("'%]", "")})[1]
    end)
    file:write(mini2)
    file:close()
    print('total size: '..#mini2 ..' vs '..#minimizedText ..' chars; reduction: -'..(#minimizedText - #mini2)..' chars')
end
