 It cannot be used together with callback-based, asynchronous, filesystem access. A workaround is to collect the names of dependencies, return an error, and keep re-running the compiler until all
 of them are resolved.
 
+Starting 0.5.12 it also accepts an object in place of the callback to supply different kind of callbacks, however only file imports are supported.

 *Note*: as an intermittent backwards compatibility feature, between versions 0.5.0 and 0.5.2, `compileStandard` and `compileStandardWrapper` also exists and behave like `compile` does.
