I think this would be covered by '--apply apply-from-command-line func
arg1 arg2'
Youʼd have to write 'apply-from-command-line' yourself, although
thereʼd be nothing stopping us from providing a generic one that does
(apply (intern (pop command-line-args-left)) command-line-args-left)
or similar.

I think this is the best option (and we leave anything complicated to '--eval').
