      mongosh will now accept --eval multiple times, e.g.

      mongosh --quiet --eval 'use mydb' --eval 'show collections' mongodb://localhost/

      would work now. The scripts are evaluated as if they were input to the shell, and can share variables etc.; only the result of the last --eval script is printed.

      There is no reason why mongosh wouldn't be able to support multiple --eval arguments on the command line, and doing so allows easily running shell-like commands like use, show, snippet etc. in the syntaxes that users are familiar with.
