[chuck-users] Is there a way to run chuck to just check syntax?

I'm looking at trying to add more to my ChucK vscode extension, and I'd love to be able to run chuck on the code being edited so that I can parse and highlight the errors. However, I don't know how you would run chuck to just generate syntax errors. I see there is a --silent switch, which would work for the purpose, but would be an unnecessary waste of resources just to get the possible syntax errors. Csound has a --syntax-check-only command-line option. Is there something like this for ChucK? If not, would it be straightforward to add one? Forrest
