(Not an issue) Decreasing binary size even more

Hello !

I recently forked your project to try to decrease the size of generated binaries. I went for a naive compression method consisting on counting how many characters to print before toggling to the other character. Due to the format having sometimes tens of thousands of the same character, I went of a stream of u32. The resulting integer stream would end up reducing the binary to about 3/4 of its current size.
I noticed the majority of the numbers could still fit in a u8 stream. So I decided to split overflowing numbers with a zero value between each chunk, creating more entries to the stream, but those entries took a quarter of their original size.
With this, I managed to reduce the binary size to 909 Ko (windows exe) so a bit less than 1/4 of the current binary size.

You can have a look at my fork here. If you want to integrate it to your repository I'll be happy to make a PR 😄
Note : Since I don't have Deno installed and also don't know well TypeScript I wrote my preloading script using PHP instead (tiny.php) to run it just type php -d memory_limit=-1 tiny.php.
Ideally we should write a build script for this.

Have a great day !
