Why we have fixed outDir?

[uttam-gelot]

So if we have separate outDir in tscongig.json file for ts-node, it still outputs complied files into .ts-node folder and not the one which we have specified into tsconfig.json file.

In the source code at

ts-node/src/configuration.ts

Line 23 in 7af5c48

outDir: '.ts-node',

we can see that here we have fixed outDIr folder.

So it there any particular reason for that?
