+Options can be passed to the Haskell runtime system for `psc` by passing a `--psc-rts-opts` argument to `gulp`. Any values that follow this flag will be passed through to the runtime. There is no need to include `+RTS`/`-RTS` options as these are inserted automatically. See [the GHC documentation](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/runtime-control.html#rts-opts-cmdline) for information on the available RTS options.
