Keith Mason, in PR #10692, proposed making -I (uppercase) run the REPL.
The PR was closed by ihnorton, saying "It would be best to fix the existing options rather than add a new one."
and furthermore
"Right now -i just means "make isinteractive() return true" (see #6765). I think -i should mean "run-to-REPL" by default, like Python and bash. I don't believe this would conflict with IJulia or Gtk.jl/Julietta usage because they take over the event loop, but if it is a problem we could probably check whether isatty to decide."

Seems reasonable to me.

This sounds way more useful to me than just changing the output of one function (what we currently use -i for).
