AFAIK, most other console applications for Windows behave the
same way too.
As seen on MSDN, it's how "Microsoft C/C++ startup code" does
it. It's what you get in a C main's argv. Populating a D main's
args in a different way would be unusual.
Of course you can parse the command line yourself, and do it
differently then. You can do this in C, in C++, and in D too.
But the default is the other way, in all of them.
I guess all the console programs I have used for MS products
(since MS-DOS) have been unusual then according to MSDN. ;)
