Programmatic use: "additional options" aren't additional

[jerrygreen]

In the docs, Programmatic usage section, this code is mentioned:

  // Additional API options
  stdout?: ...,
  stderr?: ...,
  readFile?: ...,
  writeFile?: ...,
  listFiles?: ...,
  reportDiagnostic?: ...,
  transforms?: ...

When I try the simplest code like this:

asc.main(['myModule.ts'])

I'm getting errors then:

Error: 'options.stdout' must be specified

When I pass options.stdout, it raises error about stderr requirement, then readFile, etc.

Those options, though called "additional"... Aren't additional.

Due to the issue #2241, I'm not using the most recent version and instead I'm using assemblyscript@0.19.23, but this "additional" problem seems to be around for an eternity anyway, and I guess it is present in the recent versions, too.

Please make this programmatic usage to be what it's shown to be: make additional options truly additional. Thanks.

This is fixed in 0.20, where stdout and stderr now default to a memory stream.

Ok, then I'm closing this one.
