This adds an `--options` option. The use case is if you want to provide
more advanced options that are possible with the cli options. For
example you might want to provide a syntax highlighting function. You
could define a module like:
```js
var highlight = require("highlight.js");
module.exports = {
langPrefix: 'hljs ',
highlight: function(code){
return highlight.highlightAuto(code).value;
}
};
```
and then you can use it from the cli:
```shell
cat post.md | marked --options marked_options.js
```

Been thinking about separating packages a bit as well. Marked (client-side), Marked CLI, then the docs site. But this would be something more in the 1.x or 2.x imho. |

This can be closed then if you all are thinking of a different approach. |

@matthewp: Thanks for the okay. We'll probably leave it open for a little bit. We're mainly just looking to triage things a bit better to turn the focus on passing the test cases and examples for the two supported specifications. |
