UPDATE: setupMaster is available to give arguments to sub-processes #1

As of ts-node v3.0.6, the following command crashes:

$ ts-node --project tsconfig.universal.json cluster.ts

This is because the worker uses the default tsconfig.json, not tsconfig.universal.json as specified. tsconfig.json compiles import as is, while tsconfig.json compiles import to commonjs style require.
