Subject: Suggest not making argv compulsory
At the moment the program seems to require argv to be set to something. However, not every C program requires command line options, so I suggest turning this off.

Hi BKB! sorry for the late reply. Given that doing <<argv => [],>> is not too hard (and is a common case when writing tests) and that having an implicit "argv" may be too errorprone and writing a wrapper function to do it is not hard - I am rejecting this request. This is one case where I agree with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python that "explicit is better than implicit" (and I am aware that this is Perl 5 / CPAN ).
