Is there a simple way to compile an sbt project with Dotty?

Question

Now that Dotty is apparently getting ready to compile larger projects, I wonder if there is a simple way to use it as drop-in replacement for Scalac in sbt projects? Like if I had the following build.sbt:

name := "Foo"

scalaVersion := "2.11.7"

Are there some steps I can take to swap out Scalac for Dotc here?

I don't know for sure that this isn't supported yet, but I notice that "Work on SBT integration of the compiler" is listed as a to-do-item at http://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2015/10/23/dotty-compiler-bootstraps.html — Seth Tisue, Nov 09 '15 at 14:53

We've merged #2344 Make sbt aware of Dotty feature contributed by Guillaume Martres, and it will be part of 0.13.10. In the meantime you can try it with the nightly published to https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/ivy-snapshots/.
