These are minor changes, and recently I’ve been learning and trying to implement some features of `oxc_minifier`, which feels a bit complex. By the way, I’m wondering whether we should gradually add test cases during the feature implementation process or just copy all the corresponding tests directly? Perhaps we could implement something like `rulegen` similar to `linter`? |

Minifier
A JavaScript minifier has three components:
- printer
- mangler
- compressor
Mangler
The mangler implementation is part of the SymbolTable residing in oxc_semantic.
It is responsible for shortening variables. Its algorithm should be gzip friendly.
The printer is also responsible for printing out the shortened variable names.
Compressor
The compressor is responsible for rewriting statements and expressions for minimal text output. Terser is a good place to start for learning the fundamentals.
Terser Tests
