I personally would love to use the new UglifyJS as a code *beautifier*,
which becomes feasible now if it’s able to keep comments intact.

Well, the code generator doesn't yet have an option to keep comments,

What exactly are you trying to achieve? My understanding is that you
compile Lisp to JS (cool!), do you want to be able to do the reverse
transform? If so, perhaps a better idea is to generate a source map.
(not sure what you need to do though, just guessing)

Wonderful! I've been working on a project that is sort of like parenscript
- but much more of a straight javascript in lisp/scheme clothes with a
define-syntax macro system.

I've been hacking on the 1x source of uglify to translate javascript into a
lispy type system (and back) - but inline comments have been a cause of
concern. Where is the 2.x source at this point?

Very cool. What comments in the AST are you going to preserve?
The new AST is able to store all comments, and the compressor and code
generator will be able to keep most of them. However, I suspect that
in general people will only need to store copyright notices, and those
usually start with some special marker like "/*!". It'll be easy to
add a configuration option to keep such comments, as long as they're
not in code that's going to be dropped (for example dead code, like,
code that follows a return, throw, break or continue statement).
Cheers,
