			Useful for protecting tokens, like templates in HTML, from being mutated when the string is transformed in some way, like from a formatter/beautifier.

			Example without `preserve`

			Let's say you want to use [js-beautify] on a string of html with Lo-Dash/Underscore templates, such as: `<ul><li><%= name %></li></ul>`:

			js-beautify will render the template unusable (and apply incorrect formatting because of the unfamiliar syntax from the Lo-Dash template):

			```html
			<ul>
			<li>
			<%=n ame %>
			</li>
			</ul>
			```

			Example with `preserve`

			Correct.

			```html
			<ul>
			<li><%= name %></li>
			</ul>
			```

			For the record, this is just a random example, I've had very few issues with js-beautify in general. But with or without js-beautify, this kind of token mangling does happen sometimes when you use formatters, beautifiers or similar tools.
