I can see (small) value in having a new option that is like -c but
interprets the string as a fully-featured script like -f.  (Small
because the same behavior can already be had with here strings in bash.)

The behavior should be exactly like -f, including all the behavior with
single-transaction and single-step modes or whatever.

But then I will point out that we currently don't handle multiple -f
options.
