--check work with --require

[jdalton]

Node flags like --eval and --print work with --require allowing module(s) to be loaded before evaling or printing to enable prerequisite scripts to be run. However, --check doesn't work with --require when specifying a filename. It would be nice if it was possible. The relevant bits look to be

node/lib/internal/bootstrap_node.js

Lines 179 to 187 in 7809f38

	// check if user passed `-c` or `--check` arguments to Node.
	if (process._syntax_check_only != null) {
	const fs = NativeModule.require('fs');
	// read the source
	const filename = Module._resolveFilename(process.argv[1]);
	var source = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf-8');
	checkScriptSyntax(source, filename);
	process.exit(0);
	}

Update:

I noticed that using pipes I can use --require with --check for stdin.
