I do wonder sometimes whether hijacking module exports for stack outputs is too clever, compared to simply having an API, pulumi.registerStackOutputs or something. At least then we'd get to define a precise API signature and semantics.

09/02/2018, 3:53 PMOnce I get a little further along with this stuff this seems like the sort of thing I would just PR, but I'm still trying to figure out where the heck I am 😉

Ok, good news; the simple case of
module.exports = main()
