--version needs to be dealt with by the runtime too: otherwise there
would be no way to check which version it is that refuses to load the
core...

--help probably needs to be at least partially dealt with by the
runtime too. 

...but otherwise, I basically agree with the sentiment.

I think I would prefer a different scheme, but yes, I agree that
this stuff should be customizable.
