How to use Scala interpreter options with SBT?

Question

When using the Scala interpreter, one could start it with an option like:

C:\Users\John>scala -unchecked
Welcome to Scala version 2.9.2 (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, Java 1.6.0_32).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.

scala>

When using sbt, how can one start the Scala interpreter with options ? The following try will not work:

C:\Users\John\Test Scala Project 1>sbt
[...]
[info] Loading global plugins from C:\Users\John\.sbt\plugins
[info] Set current project to default-8d4ecc (in build file:/C:/Users/John/Tes
t%20Scala%20Project%201/)
> console -unchecked
[error] Expected end of input.
[error] console -unchecked
[error]        ^

With Google & Co I could not figure out how to do this from within the sbt shell. Does anyone know ?

dcs@shadowfax:~/github/ConwayLife (master *)$ sbt

default-0d85ea:master>set scalacOptions += "-unchecked"
[info] Reapplying settings...

Just a note: You probably want to avoid sending `-optimise` to the REPL. You should also use REPL specific optins with: set scalacOption in (Compile, console) += "-SomeSpecificOption)" — jsuereth, Oct 26 '13 at 13:22
