Hi all! You know how those packed js files look like, right?

 eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){ ... } ('obfuscated-string'.split('|'),0,{}))

It just so happens to be that i have to tweak some large legacy code that looks like that and i want to find a way to turn this into a more readable version.

If that's not possible, can i at least get rid of the eval?

Here's the deal, we have a big JS library that we want to compress, but YUI compressor doesn't fully compress the code if it finds an "eval" statement, out of fear that it will break something else. That's great and all, but we know exactly what is getting eval'd, so we don't want it to get conservative… >>> More

In JavaScript is there a way to get the "value" of a statement in the same way that function() { return eval("if (true) { 1 }"); } returns "1"; function() { return if (true) { 1 } } and all similar permutations I've tried are not valid syntax.
