Plugin files are too big

[fflorent]

Currently, the files like extjs 5.1.1 are 11.5 Mb weighed. This issue is meant to study possible means to shrink the file size:

• [ ] Test when the plugins have to copy the configurations into the !definitions themselves
• [x] Test when not copying inherited properties and rather reference them using !proto (does JSDuck provide such information?)

Other possibilities?

Probably it will benefit to the JS engines memory too.

Current status:

$ ls -lh plugin
total 11M
-rw-r--r-- 1 florent florent 633K Mar 25 09:15 ckeditor_4.4.1.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 florent florent 376K Mar 27 14:13 ckeditor_4.4.7.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 florent florent 3.7M Mar 27 14:13 extjs_4.2.1.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 florent florent 3.0M Mar 27 14:13 extjs_5.0.0.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 florent florent 3.3M Mar 27 14:13 extjs_5.1.1.js

Test when the plugins have to copy the configurations into the !definitions themselves

We may have the opportunity to reduce a bit the size (without !define, the file size is 2.6M, so that's the lowest size we could hypothetically get). Not sure whether it is worth. Thoughts?

I propose to close the issue. I think the size is reasonable enough now.
