Incremental compilation

Hi,

is it possible to enable incremental compilation?

is it possible to enable incremental compilation?

The plan is the have a boolean option fast which when set will try to compile the changed files silently before it jumps to compiling the entire project. Reason for silent compile: The individual files will probably fail to compile unless they have an explicit reference to all the files it needs. If you use the all refernece file trick the time to compile your single file will not be very different from compiling the reference file. So this is why you need to not reference any files yourself. Let ts compile fail but give you valid js, then let ts compile verify that the entire project still builds.

That said, I haven't started work on this.
