### Options

Default options:

```javascript
{
  psc: 'psc',
  pscArgs: {},
  pscBundle: 'psc-bundle',
  pscBundleArgs: {},
  pscIde: false, // instant rebuilds using psc-ide-server (experimental)
  pscIdeArgs: {}, // for example, to use different psc-ide-server port: {port: 4088}
  pscIdeColors: false, // defaults to true if psc === 'psa'
  bundleOutput: 'output/bundle.js',
  bundleNamespace: 'PS',
  bundle: false,
  warnings: true,
  output: 'output',
  src: [
    path.join('src', '**', '*.purs'),
    path.join('bower_components', 'purescript-*', 'src', '**', '*.purs')
  ]
}
```

### Instant rebuilds (experimental)

Experimental support for instant rebuilds using `psc-ide-server` can be enabled
via the `pscIde: true` option.
You can use an already running `psc-ide-server` instance by specifying the port in `pscIdeArgs`.
