I'd love to. But we're stuck, unless we make a $CMD which holds what $0
currently holds, which I wouldn't particularly mind. Particularly since
$ARGV[0] means the first command-line argument, and not C's argv[0], and
neither of them are related to $0 at all typing-wise. But then again, $0
has nice sh semantics. But then again, @ARGV doesn't, so it's kinda
contradictory.

Sigh. "Let Larry figure it out" comes to mind.
