Description
It would be nice to be able to compile some things automatically as input to the compiler rather than copying the same thing into each file.
Rather than putting
import clr
clr.AddReference("bla bla bla")
from whatever import foo
I might want to add these as arguments to the IronPython compiler so that they don't need to be in every file.
This will make it easier to support PackageReference via the IronPython SDK and other features.

Research direction
Start by locating the IronPython compiler's argument handling and the SDK/PackageReference integration mentioned in the issue. Define the supported arguments and their behavior for imports and clr.AddReference, then verify compilation no longer requires repeating those statements in each source file.
