However, the ORIGINAL proposal in this thread (to split off argv[0]
and/or make that and the arguments read-only) is entirely different.
That is purely a matter of convenience, cleanliness of specification
or whatever you call it.  I can't imagine any good reason to separate
argv[0] from argv[1:] by a sandbox (either way).
