Option to add custom message

[Gonzalo Casas]

It is not uncommon to wish to see CSS size and scripts' size, so it would be great to be able to specify an additional/custom message to be displayed when rendering the calculated size.

Custom message for what purpose exactly?

[Gonzalo Casas]

To be able to distinguish between multiple calls of gulp-size.
See the following:

There are two lines generated by gulp-size, one is generated by the 'styles' stream, the other one is generated by the 'scripts' stream. As it is right now, it's impossible to tell which is which.

If a custom message doesn't fit, then giving it a name or something that would be in the output of gulp-size would also do.

This should really be fixed in gulp, but I've added a hacky solution in the interim. Mind trying out master?

[Gonzalo Casas]

Just tested on master and it doesn't really work, if you have multiple size() calls, it always show the same message. Take the following minimal gulpfile sample:

gulp.task('test-styles', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.css)
        .pipe(size());
});
gulp.task('test-libs', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.jslibs)
        .pipe(size());
});
gulp.task('test', ['test-libs', 'test-styles'], function () {
});

This causes the following output:

[gulp] Starting 'test-libs'...
[gulp] Starting 'test-styles'...
[gulp] gulp-size: 'test-styles' total 17.22 kB
[gulp] Finished 'test-libs' after 17 ms
[gulp] gulp-size: 'test-styles' total 10.16 kB
[gulp] Finished 'test-styles' after 13 ms
[gulp] Starting 'test'...
[gulp] Finished 'test' after 7.19 μs

Notice the task name is the same in both cases.

In any case, I'd rather wait for/help develop a full proper solution instead of rushing a hacky one.

Oh well. I added an option to add a title instead, until it can be fixed in gulp itself ;)

Thanks!
