Apparently it's somewhat conventional (perl, ruby) to use "-x" for this
purpose. A nice write-up at
https://github.com/smikes/node/blob/minus-x-switch/doc/Minus-X-Switch-Proposal.md
Amazingly, "-x" is available as an Emacs command-line switch...
Personally, I'd probably just use a trivial shell wrapper script.
