Are you referring to core.runtime.Runtime.args? That is not completely

symlink instead of the actual executable?
* Also if you're running an application in a bundle on Mac OS X it would
refer to the bundle and not the actual executable, if I recall correctly.
I see. I'll defer ultimate decision on adding getProcessPath to Sean and
Walter. Probably with a little experimentation to clarify motivation,
getProcessPath is a worthy addition.
Sean, Walter, is this worth including?
Yes. Not sure where it should live though.

Jacob, please write a pull request with documentation (including
motivation by comparison with core.Runtime.args), unittests, the works,
and provided the quality is up to snuff we'll make sure we merge it in.
Thanks!
Andrei
