Comment:

 This was introduced in #63887 and related tickets.

 I don't feel too strongly that the `sourceURL` comments always be visible,
 but I'm also not sure that `SCRIPT_DEBUG` is the right way to exclusively
 enable them. For example, when `SCRIPT_DEBUG` is off, styles are minified
 and it is useful to be able to see the source for where minified scripts
 and styles are coming from as well. It's also useful for running a code
 coverage report with minified sources. It's also useful to easily identify
 the source of a JS error in production without enabling `SCRIPT_DEBUG`.

 Maybe there should be a function like
 `wp_should_show_source_url_comments()` with a corresponding filter that
 defaults to the value of `SCRIPT_DEBUG`. This would allow an opt-in to
 `sourceURL` without also serving unminifed scripts and styles.

 This applies scripts as well as to styles.
