Agreed on the --language concept, although I think I prefer "--prog"
(mentioned in #49168) to "--language".  Not everything we might want
to invoke in this manner is actually a compiler or language.

If we're agreed on this approach, I'll open a [todo] ticket for it.
I might even write the patch to make it work.  :-)
