    • inline : Inline the library code for used features in the file.
    • none : Do not include the runtime library
• Added support for assigning expressions (+=, &=, ++, etc) in other expressions (i.e. lastIndex = i++ or return a += b) by transpiling them as immediately called anonymous functions.
