Description

This is related to https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/4103

Generally if something can be done via command line switches, there is also a way to do that via compiler APIs.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing debug+ command line switches in the Roslyn compiler, then propose API signatures that mirror those functionalities. Look at how other command line switches are exposed via public APIs.
