I would like the welcome banner that is displayed when you enter the REPL to be printed when I execute something like `julia myCode.jl` in Window’s cmd. Is there a way to do so?

It appears that you can call `Base.banner()` directly. So for example if you have a call to `Base.banner()` in a filename called `banner_start.jl` you can do something like this works:

```julia
julia -L banner_start.jl -e "println(:hello)"
               _
