Be able to pipe data to `bun --print` #9438

What is the problem this feature would solve?

Keeping longer scripts (and multi line scripts) outside of package.js and other places that uses --print

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Have bun --print use the data that is piped in as the js source if no parameter has been provided

cat '2+3' | bun --print
5

What alternatives have you considered?

If you generate the JS content you want to run you can store that in a file instead of piping it and call bun run x.js - while also adding console.log() around the last statement.
