Description
Underscore is getting a little chunky around the edges...
We're up to 5.8k, minified and gzipped. It would be lovely to get that back down under 5...
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue gives a size target for Underscore's minified and gzipped distribution, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the repository's build and distribution entry points and measuring the current artifact; done means reducing the minified and gzipped size below 5 kB without changing behavior.
