But you hardly ever want to process argv[0] the same way
as the rest of the arguments, so you end up treating it
as a special case anyway.

It seems to me we only think of it as a command line
argument because C traditionally presents it that way.
I don't think it's something that would naturally come
to mind otherwise. I know I found it quite surprising
when I first encountered it.
