Also, I routinely write scripts that have no `if __name__ ==
'__main__'` line at all, they just run - no-one should ever import
them, so it makes no difference. And I exit (in multiple places) using
`raise SystemExit("reason")`.My point being that yes, there are *lots* of ways of writing Python scripts/programs. Why "bless" one of them as being somehow superior?
