Support .mongorc.js file
A core bit of functionality from the original shell is to support reading from the
.mongorc.jsfile in a user's home directory. This feels like core functionality thatmongoshshould support.4 votesThis work is planned. Support for `.mongorc.js` will be there before GA `mongosh`.

Ability to execute a javascript file from inside the shell
Currently the only way to execute a javascript file from the mongo shell is to re-direct the input at shell login time (e.g. mongo --username <username> ... < myscript.js). It would be helpful to have a way to execute the script from inside the shell via some sort of "run" command (e.g.from inside the shell "run /my/path/myscript.js".

creating an option to import csv files with semicolon separator
There isn't an option to specify semicolon as delimiter on mongo shell when importing csv files. We are forced to import through MongoDB Compass when file has semicolon separator.

Course M001: please bring back Chapter 0
Please put Chapter 0 (installation of MongoDB Shell and Compass) back into course M001. Subsequent chapters refer to the MongoDB Shell and show it being used, but students have not been stepped through the installation process. This chapter was removed on Sept 29. The Sept 22 instance of the course had the step-by-step installation instructions. Using an IDE is not the same, I want students to get hands on with the Shell and with Compass.

when you hit up, even if last command was an error, edit it
The most common use case to hit up on the keyboard is that I had a typo in the last command in the shell. When I hit up now, it goes to the most recent valid command not the most recent command.
What it should do is retype the invalid command I last tried to send, regardless of if it was succesful.
