changed some of the wording of the param config example.
Namely put the comment immediately below the example.
Also added --set to the noteable arguments list.
Also changed "compile(?: )?time" to "compile-time"

A notable argument:
Notable arguments:
* ``--fast``: enables a number of optimizations and disables array bounds checks. Should only enable when application is stable.
* ```--set <Symbol Name>=<Value>```: set config param <Symbol Name> to <Value> at compile-time
