vfs.dest(outfolder, { base.. }) ignores outfolder?

See original GitHub issue

When dest has a base option, it ignores outfolder, right? Looks like that from the code.

If yes, then maybe let people specify empty outfolder?

Thinking through this some more with @stevelacy, the only example I can come up with where the base option on .dest() would be used would be with liberal globs in .src() like:

// src = './client/**/*.sass'
vfs.dest('./dest/styles/');
// => /home/user/project/dest/styles/sass/file.sass
// => /home/user/project/dest/styles/sass/partials/other-file.sass

// src = './client/**/*.css'
vfs.dest('./dest/styles/', {
  base: './sass'
});
// => /home/user/project/dest/styles/file.css
// => /home/user/project/dest/styles/partials/other-file.css

However, it seems that this can be solved by using the base option in the .src() method instead of the .dest() method. I think this option can be removed.

@tmcgee123 I don’t think my last comment was correct. I’m not sure what the “correct” behavior would be. Any thoughts? @contra @iliakan
