Description
It would be nice if the tsc command had an option to always exit with a 0 exit code when there were compile errors. I want to run something in my script after compiling. Currently I have to do this:
set -e
# script stuff
set +e
tsc …
set -e
However this workaround means all errors from tsc will be silently ignored, not just compile errors.

Research direction
Start with the tsc CLI option handling and the code that determines its process exit status. Trace how compile errors are distinguished from other failures, then add the requested opt-in behavior and verify that scripts can continue after compile errors without masking other tsc errors.
