Is dead code elimination really working?

I can't seem to bring the code size down with a barely empty project through dead-code elimination alone, even when following the installation instructions to the letter.

The template used was [reagent-figwheel](https://github.com/gadfly361/reagent-figwheel) with only `devtools` and `reagent` as dependencies. I've fiddled with the `goog.DEBUG` flag, and then removed `devtools` from the `:require` and `:dependencies` vectors.

| Type | Size |
|--------------------------------------------------------|-------:|
| `:dependencies` + `:require` + `goog.DEBUG true` | 1.9 MB |
| `:dependencies` + `:require` + `goog.DEBUG false` | 1.5 MB |
| `:dependencies` + `:require` + no mention at all | 1.6 MB |
| `:dependencies` + no `:require` + no mention at all | 763 KB |
| no `:dependencies` + no `:require` + no mention at all | 763 KB |

The first two rows followed the instructions from the [release notes](https://github.com/binaryage/cljs-devtools/releases/tag/v0.5.3). There's a single mention of ` (devtools/install!)` within a `(when ^boolean js/goog.DEBUG ...)` block. The other three had this line removed manually.

Google Closure's shaved 400kb of the build, but that's still a 800kb increase for a `:require` without a single mention of `devtools`! Is this the best I can expect from dead code elimination?

Here's the code used for the builds (e.g. `lein new reagent-figwheel +devtools`):
```clojure
;##################
;### profile.cljs

(defproject devtools-dce "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"]
[org.clojure/clojurescript "1.9.229"]
[reagent "0.6.0"]
[binaryage/devtools "0.8.2"]]

[...]

:cljsbuild
{:builds
[{:id "min"
:source-paths ["src/cljs"]
:compiler {:main devtools-dce.core
:optimizations :advanced
:output-to "resources/public/js/compiled/app.js"
:output-dir "resources/public/js/compiled/min"
:closure-defines {goog.DEBUG false}
:pseudo-names true ;; added to exacerbate size difference
:pretty-print false}}

]})

;##############
;## core.cljs

(ns devtools-dce.core
(:require
[reagent.core :as reagent]
[devtools.core :as devtools]
))

[...]

(defn dev-setup [] ;; inlining into `main` made no difference
(when ^boolean js/goog.DEBUG
(enable-console-print!)
(println "dev mode")
(devtools/install!)
))

(defn ^:export main []
(dev-setup)
(reload))
```

Comienza con la configuración de build en profile.cljs y el namespace y punto de entrada dev-setup en core.cljs, utilizando la plantilla reagent-figwheel y los ajustes de advanced-optimization indicados. Reproduce los cinco builds y compara sus tamaños de salida; se considera terminado cuando se explica si se elimina la dependencia devtools no utilizada y se documenta o corrige el resultado observado.
