Scenario: As a user, I would like to clean compilerOptions.outDir before transpiling. It is fairly understandable that it is not the default behavior since removing user data goes beyond the scope of a compiler responsibility. However, many users would find this very convenient during development process, notably:

  • when --watch mode on
  • to systematically avoid "dead leaves", i.e. obsolete sources and definitions

Such a compiler option could be labeled autoCleanOutDir and have boolean type.
