I actually just tried this with:

http://arsdnet.net/dtojs/microd.js

Original Size:	20.14KB (2.61KB gzipped)
Compiled Size:	3.05KB (1015 bytes gzipped)

Pretty impressive! It did spit out 86 warnings though...

Mostly:
  * JSC_WRONG_ARGUMENT_COUNT
  * JSC_USED_GLOBAL_THIS
  * JSC_REDECLARED_VARIABLE
  * JSC_NOT_A_CONSTRUCTOR (iirc to get around that you have to drop in a 
/** @constructor */ comment before anything you want to use as a 
constructor for that)

Good work at getting std.algorithm (mostly) working! :D
