Hmm. OTOH that "argument shift" is exactly what happens with shell too:
```
[pmatilai@sopuli ~]$ cat argtest.sh
function foo()
{
echo 1:$1 2:$2
}
foo $none bar
[pmatilai@sopuli ~]$ sh argtest.sh
1:bar 2:
```
Difference of course being that shell has a quoting mechanism. So maybe the
saner thing is reverting expand-after-split afterall and supporting quotes
around arguments instead, to permit empty arguments where necessary. Should be
easy to arrange by using poptParseArgvString() instead of argvSplit(). And sure
it's going to break something else in turn, but *something* is going to break
no matter what, and behaving similar to shell seems like the path of least
surprises.
