Nodejs v20.6.0 - how to run ts-node with --env-file flag. The only recipe that works for now

[Doc999tor]

Starting from Nodejs v20.6.0 we can omit dotenv library and load your INI style .env files as Nodejs flag
Unfortunately, the most naive and straightforward way is not supported (yet I hope)
So the only way to run ts-node with support of --env-file flag is:

node -r ts-node/register --env-file=dev.env app.ts

with ts-node locally installed

The much more convenient way that is supposed to be supported by docs

npx cross-env NODE_OPTIONS='--env-file=dev.env' ts-node app.ts

throws --env-file is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS
