Re: argv[0] not available to CLISP programs

This isn't completely accurate. *LOAD-TRUENAME* is overwritten when you
(load) other code files, so it doesn't let you reliably get the original
script name. This difference is detectable in general scripting languages
such as Ruby:

if __FILE__==$0
main
end

How can this be done in CLISP? So far, I can manage with a shebang
hack<https://github.com/mcandre/scriptname/blob/master/scriptname.lisp>,
but it prevents the code from dot slashing properly with other CLs.
