I understand, but in such a case, the application could use the 
hypothetical high level arguments interface presented by QApplication.

As an example, the application author could provide an optional 
specification of the possible arguments (e.g. string, some higher level 
structure) to QApplication and let *it* do the parsing. One less piece of 
tedious, oft-replicated, oft-buggy code to write. Of course not *all* 
cases would be catered for, but then, authors can drop to a lower level 
API. At least they have the option.

It's a moot point; QApplication's initialisation API is clearly not going 
to change any time soon.
