I'd prefer to keep the hardcoded literals for now, that makes it clear that the definition in the stdlib is wrong.

The current code doesn't work in python3, as the entire Carbon package is not present there. I will therefore rewrite argv_emulation.py using ctypes in the near future and then this issue entirely goes away ;-)
