Re: A not quite stylish proposal for command line processing

[Richard Stallman]

    The problem is that the equivalent (pop command-line-args-left) is the
    only way to pass strings from the shell or elsewhere without having to
    requote them as Lisp strings.  (*argv++) might be quite over the top,
    but at least (pop argv) would still be quite concise, much more
    Lispish, and it might make it easier for people to actually find the
    respective variable.

It is a fine method of doing this.  If people really want to do this,
then let's install some such thing.

However, I am not sure that the name `argv' is useful now
that even most hackers are not C programmers.  Does any other
language use the name `argv'?
