962bbf75 - Introduce -m/--module flag to execute a `main` function in a package (#52103)

Introduce -m/--module flag to execute a `main` function in a package (#52103) This aims to bring similar functionality to Julia as the `-m` flag for Python which exists to directly run some function in a package and being able to pass arguments to that function. While in Python, `python -m package args` runs the file `<package>.__main__.py`, the equivalent Julia command (`julia -m Package args`) instead runs `<Package>.main(args)`. The package is assumed to be installed in the environment `julia` is run in. An example usage could be: Add the package: ```julia (@v1.11) pkg> add https://github.com/KristofferC/Rot13.jl Cloning git-repo `https://github.com/KristofferC/Rot13.jl` Updating git-repo `https://github.com/KristofferC/Rot13.jl` Resolving package versions... Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.11/Project.toml` [43ef800a] + Rot13 v0.1.0 `https://github.com/KristofferC/Rot13.jl#master` Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.11/Manifest.toml` [43ef800a] + Rot13 v0.1.0 `https://github.com/KristofferC/Rot13.jl#master` ``` And then it can be run (since it has a `main` function) via: ``` ❯ ./julia/julia -m Rot13 "encrypt this for me" "and this as well" rapelcg guvf sbe zr naq guvf nf jryy ``` I'm not sure if `-m/--module` is the best choice but perhaps the association to Python makes it worth it.
