It's clearly defined to do so, and all Getopt:: modules operate that
way.
It's even *IMPORTANT* that @ARGV gets modified, when the next thing
you want to do is something like
while ( <> ) {
...
}
There's no point in introducing extra overhead (and typing) by
explicitly having to pass a ref to @ARGV.
But I agree that it sometimes would be nice to be able to pass a ref
instead of having to localise @ARGV.
