Is there any way to make the repl console start with an included script?
Neither --interactive --eval nor --require worked here (v5.3.0)

What you are looking for should be -ir <module>, I think.

Why doesn't that work? Because our current options parsing is a bunch of garbage if-else statements.

@evanlucas Tried to make it use getopt a while ago but that had some edge cases. See: #1862

Here is what I tried last:

$> cat test.js 
console.log("OK")
a=1
exports.a=2
module.exports.a=3

$> NODE_PATH=. node -i -r test.js 
> // nada 
> a
ReferenceError: a is not defined

Again, that doesn't currently work, but we know about it. :/

This gives us the ability to preload when using the node repl. This can
be useful for doing things like creating aliases.
