I want to put *less* meaning in it, not more. :-)
And using an argument parser is often overkill for
simple programs.

So in your Python programs, you're quite happy
to write
for arg in sys.argv:
process(arg)
and not care about what this does with argv[0]?
I hardly see how one can claim that there's
"no difference" between argv[0] and the rest
for practical purposes.
