That doesn't necessarily mean it has to be passed
along with the arguments to a __main__() function,
though. You can always extract it from sys.argv if
you need it.

Arguably it's more convenient to get it from there,
since you're most often to want it for things like
formatting error messages, which are probably not
happening right inside the main function.
