Need information: Removing as many options as possible

I need to get an idea of how people are using all the different options and why they are using them. My goal is to understand and automatically handle those operations so this plugin doesn’t need so much configuration.

Please post your option usage and why you use them below. Otherwise, your use case might disappear with the option.

List of deprecated options:

• mapSources - use sourcemap.mapSources stream.
• identityMap - use sourcemap.identityMap stream.

My use case is for mapSources is to rewrite the source paths after source contents have been loaded. Once @gulp-sourcemaps/sources-content implementation is merged I won’t need this.

One comment, part of me wishes that @gulp-sourcemaps/identity-map were not pulled in by this module and it were up to users to just directly use it. Mostly I’d like to see the CSS / JS parsers used by that module not pulled in automatically. Really I could see identity-map being split into two modules, one for js (acorn) and one for css. This would make it easy to replace the parsers without forcing people to switch.

I feel similarly about having the main module not directly depend on @gulp-sourcemaps/map-sources though not as strongly since that plugin doesn’t pull any JS/CSS parsers

I realize that not pulling these plugins would be another breaking change but I still felt the need to mention it.
