 * `es6.mixedImports`: allows for all dependencies to be fetched from a file that contains both CJS and ES6 imports.
   * Note: This will work for any file format that contains an ES6 import.
 * `css.url`: tells the CSS detective to include `url()` references to images, fonts, etc.
+* `walker`: options passed directly to the underlying [node-source-walk](https://github.com/dependents/node-source-walk) instance.

 * `includeCore`: (default: `true`) set to `false` to exclude core Node.js dependencies from the list of dependencies.
 * `fileSystem`: (default: `undefined`) set to an alternative `fs` implementation that will be used to read the file path.
+* `walker`: (default: `undefined`) options forwarded to the underlying [node-source-walk](https://github.com/dependents/node-source-walk) instance - same as the top-level `walker` option.
 * You may also pass detective-specific configuration like you would to `precinct(content, options)`.
