Current problem

I'd like to invoke pylint in multiple places (CI script, precommit hook, ...) without duplicating any command line arguments. Almost all configuration can be stored in a configuration file. However, afaik, I must currently pass the modules_or_packages command line argument on every invocation.

Desired solution

I would like to have a new configuration option that allows me to specify the modules or packages that will be linted when pylint is invoked without any arguments.

random suggestion: I would like to put it as modules-or-packages inside of tool.pylint.master in my pyproject.toml. Although modules-or-packages is the name the docs use, pylint --help doesn't give a name for these arguments.

Additional context

MyPy has this as the configuration value modules.
