Starting ocaml with additional parameters #41

How can I configure the iocaml kernel to start the underlying ocaml toplevel with additional parameters ?

I just managed to run jupyter with iocaml-kernel with Arthur Charguéraud compiler 4.02.0+improved-errors (https://github.com/charguer/ocaml) , but I need to pass it the -easy command line parameter to get the enhanced error messages.

iocaml doesnt parse toplevel options, so you will need to compile a custom version. For reference I did exactly this for iocamljs a while back;

Not sure exactly what options you will need for the latest version, but it'll be something similar.
