For argv?  I sure wouldn't bet on it.  We pass that to MPI, Slepc,
PETSc, VTK, GetPot...

I wouldn't even bet on all those codes supporting argc < 1 or an empty
string in argv[0]; IIRC the C/C++ standards require main to be handed
*some* program name even if it hasn't been invoked with any arguments.
