1. Use the '.Net core' template
2. Comment out or delete the PostBuild target in the generated csproj; unlike the previous templates, this is in the csproj rather than in the nuget package, so you can easily disable the 'run-with-no-args-after-build' behavior
3. dotnet build
4. dotnet run YOUR_ARGS_HERE < don't include Program.cs

Example output
