How to inject latex code from a header file at the beginning of the preamble?

How to inject latex code from a header file at the beginning of the preamble?

Hi there

Via --include-in-header I can inject latex code into the standard template *at 
the end* of the document preamble. I use this a lot to customise the 
standard template without completely replacing it (which is great for 
compatibility reasons!).

But how can I inject latex code at the *at the beginning* of the document 
preamble?

Many thanks,
Leo

Your best bet is to use a custom template and put a variable
there.

Thanks John, but that's what I want to avoid: I rather inject stuff into 
the default tempalte which might change with versions than change it...

My particular use case are options to BibLaTex: Most options (like doi=false 
or url=true) I can add in the included header file (via 
\ExecuteBibliographyOptions), but the style= option I need to give *before* 
the \usepackage{biblatex} command (via \ProvidePackageOptions). For this I 
would need an header which gets injected at the beginning of the preamble...

What you want is essentially
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/pull/59
But I've never been sold on this, because it seems like the thin
edge of a never-ending stream of requests.  We made
templates customizable for just such uses.

That's exactly the feature I'm having in mind!

I think "early include" would have a lot of uses with the LaTeX writer in 
particular. I think there is a big value in not modifying the standard 
templates but rather augmenting them with local customisations.
