Default options when not using bin/dumpster.js

[shreyasminocha]

• disambiguation pages / redirects --skip_disambig, --skip_redirects
  by default, dumpster skips entries in the dump that aren't full-on articles, you can

let obj = {
  file: './path/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2',
  db: 'enwiki',
  skip_redirects: false,
  skip_disambig: false
};
dumpster(obj, () => console.log('done!'));

I'm not sure if this is unintentional or if the docs are misleading, but the default options are applied only when invoking the dumpster bin script, and not when it's imported and used in a script like in the example above. So the snippet I quoted is identical to:

let obj = {
  file: './path/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2',
  db: 'enwiki'
};
dumpster(obj, () => console.log('done!'));

…and skipping redirects and disambiguation pages requires an explicit skip_redirects: true, skip_disambig: true.

I'm guessing this is also true of the other default options.
