Is it possible to add a variable like term-switches (or equivalents) in
order to add options to initialize the shells when calling term? 

Because some users (like me) need to use term as a login shell so I need
to pass the --login options. make-term already brings this option, so
this is a very small change more or less like:

(defvar term-program-switches nil)

(defun term (program)
  "Start a terminal-emulator in a new buffer.
The buffer is in Term mode; see `term-mode' for the
commands to use in that buffer.

\\<term-raw-map>Type \\[switch-to-buffer] to switch to another buffer."
  (interactive (list (read-from-minibuffer "Run program: "
        (or explicit-shell-file-name
            (getenv "ESHELL")
            shell-file-name))))
  (set-buffer (make-term "terminal" program nil term-program-switches)

)
  (term-mode)
  (term-char-mode)
  (switch-to-buffer "*terminal*"))

Shall we implement this in the same manner as bug 33037 which addressed
the same issue for `comint-run' ?

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=33037

In which I wrote:

(but then failed to follow up.)


CCing to Lars, who recently reviewed and committed the comint patch.

I think that makes sense.
