Compress `a || (a = b)` to `a ||= b` and for other logical operators that are possible to. I didn't find other minifiers doing this, but this is safe for identifiers. [Quoting MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Logical_OR_assignment#description): > Logical OR assignment short-circuits, meaning that `x ||= y` is equivalent to `x || (x = y)`, except that the expression x is only evaluated once. I actually checked the spec and the only difference was that `Let lRef be ? Evaluation of LeftHandSideExpression` was done twice. Evaluating an IdentifierReference is idempotent so it should be safe to do this compression.
