Option to keep bytecode in memory

[webnov8]

Often when treating Cobra in a script-like manner it's undesirable to create a binary file. A good option would be to have an option like -inmemory where the bytecode is kept in memory and executed from there.

#! /usr/bin/cobra -inmemory
class Foo
  def main
    print 'I can run without creating an executable'

The run option would probably be more intuitive. That's the option used by the Tiny C Compiler

#!/usr/bin/cobra -run

I think you want ticket:24 here.

While it's true that DLR integration (ticket:24) would enable this, it is also possible to generate regular CLR byte code to memory. Although, there's nothing wrong which pointing out the DLR here.
