We definitely need a way to compile bytecode in CLI. I'm now thinking that maybe --compile should actually be reserved for outputting a binary bytecode blob? We can probably find another command line to print the text representation, or maybe require another flag. We could also go with --binary I suppose, one caveat is that for compiling bytecode to stdout we need to process just a single file, whereas disasm can work on multiple files which is somewhat useful to be able to analyze large portions of Luau code by compiling the entire folder and processing the result with regex/etc.

I don't think we'll ever support direct loading of bytecode. Bytecode is not verified during loading; applications that want to support loading from bytecode are expected to verify that the bytecode never comes from untrusted sources, for example by signing it with asymmetric cryptography. It's trivial to load the bytecode directly on the application level, but CLI supporting it is not a great idea.
