Groovy Console with defaulted imports

Question

Is there a way to start the groovy console with a set of imports already set or variables predefined?

java -cp <some jar with groovy> org.codehaus.groovy.tools.shell.Main

But before the user even does anything several things have been already imported for them, such as static functions or classes.

You can specify expressions to be evaluated at startup time using the -e command line switch:

groovysh -e "x=5;y=4"
