 It looks like these three constants are not used anymore:

 {{{
 define( ‘COMPRESS_CSS’, true );
 define( ‘COMPRESS_SCRIPTS’, true );
 define( ‘ENFORCE_GZIP’, true )
 }}}

 In #44815 the check for the "c" parameter (for compression) in load-
 scripts.php and load-styles.php was removed.

 But it is still used in this file:
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/script-
 loader.php#L2199
 and
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/script-
 loader.php#L2377

 And documented at the beginning of the file:
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/script-
 loader.php#L8-L10

 It looks like we can safely remove this or is there a reason to keep it?
