I've been looking at the source code (C & Julia both), PRs and Issues (such as #9266), but haven't seen anything so far that handles this.
It would be very nice to have an environment variable, such as JULIA_OPTIONS, that would be processed first, to set up defaults (which could be overriden by the command line).
For example, if you always wanted to suppress the banner, you'd simply have:
export JULIA_OPTIONS="-q"
If people think this would be useful, I can attempt a PR for it.
