+- Add ability to configure options for the [`set`](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Builtin.html)

 - Add new `platforms:` attribute to `task` and `cmd`, so it's now possible to
   choose in which platforms that given task or command will be run on. Possible
   values are operating system (GOOS), architecture (GOARCH) or a combination of
