Why don't you replace `var` with `const` and `let`?
See original GitHub issueSummary
It seems that there are many var in the source code.
And using const and let instead is more preferred.
So, why don’t you replace var with const and let?
Tell me the reason that you make var be left?

@CreativeGP it would just be compiled back to
varanyway for compatibility reasons. also, there are instances whereconstandletwon’t work, and onlyvarwill. here’s an example:https://github.com/r3wt/express-map/blob/master/index.js#L17
another common case is variables holding a primitive value that need to be “globally” scoped but modifiable from any child scope. you can’t use
constorletfor that. additionally, you can’t declareconstorletinside of a switch statement.You entrust users to do it? So, how about improving the code of this repository with it?
