Mangle names like terser #2620

Hey there!

This project seems to be an amazing tool, but the only thing that makes it short of a complete javascript minifier, is a mangler. Names should be 1 character long whenever possible. I suggest you implement the algorithm in uglifyJS and terser, which optimises for gzip-ability. If you'd like I can point you to where the code is.

I'm using prepack in my new project jscomp, check it out!

Prepack is somehow orthogonal to what a typical minifier does; we think it would always make sense to just run a minifier after Prepack. In any case, if you put up a PR with a concrete proposal, we might accept that :-)
