"ceylon run --compile" does not recompile changes

[CeylonMigrationBot]

[@gavinking] I think it makes ceylon run --compile almost useless that it doesn't pick up changes to the source code.

[@gavinking] Ah OK, so you have to use --compile=force. But nowhere is the semantics of that documented, and it feels to me like the default is wrong.

[CeylonMigrationBot]

[@quintesse] You can also use --compile=check which only compiles if the sources have changed. You can set the default in ~/.ceylon/config by adding the line compile=check to the [runtool] section.

And the default is not to compile because when I added this option you were all against the run tool behaving like a build tool

[CeylonMigrationBot]

[@gavinking] Was I? Perhaps I didn't really understand.

Tako would you do me a favor and document all those options and what is the default, please?

Thanks, Tako.
