Added function names there. Any other missing?

Done.

Whitelisting is the hardest part. Can't you simply use JSHint?

Hm, it's a trade-off. Take a look at [package.co](https://github.com/satyr/coco/blob/master/package.co). 1. `homepage : \http://satyr.github.com/coco/` 2. `\uglify-js : \1.0.6` The former would become invalid, meanwhile the latter would be able to remove...

_One less character_ is the whole point of the syntax. Should length matter?
