Passing in arguments to gulp tasks

I have a task to run jshint:

gulp.task('lint-scripts', function () {
    var jshint = buildTools.jshint,
        filesToLint = ...

    return gulp
        .src(filesToLint)
        .pipe(jshint('jshint.json'))
        .pipe(jshint.reporter('jshint-stylish'))
        //.pipe(jshint.reporter('fail'))
    ;
});

This is how it should perform during development.

I also need a "release" version of this same task, where this line isn't commented out:

//.pipe(jshint.reporter('fail'))

What's the best way to do this? I don't want to create to duplicate tasks with one line of code difference. Is there a way I can pass in a variable to the task lint-scripts and the fail reporter will optionally be used?
