The TL;DR is that Svelte overpromises. They can't possibly write code for every transformation combination as code size would grow exponentially (I'm not completely sure, but I think predicting transforms would involve the halting problem).

(thanks to whoever bothered to do this writeup).

EDIT: if anyone has proof this is not true, I'd love to hear their counterargument.
