Personally?  I don't like things that mutate based on argv[0].  It is
rarely useful and even more rarely justifiable, in my opinion.  If you
insist, I could live with that default, but I still want to be able to
override it in either direction.  (It's really obnoxious to have to
write a wrapper that passes an argv[0] string that doesn't point to the
executable just to coax it into behaving....)
