I haven't checked for ghc, but for hugs, check the source file
iomonad.c. There is a function primArgv, which will return the
appropriate element of hugsArgv. When hugs is run as an interpreter
(not through runhugs) hugsArgv points to defaultArgv, which in turn
points to a list containing only the String "Hugs" which will be
returned by getProgName. Do have a look at the source code its quite
elegantly written C code!
I think it would not be difficult to add a ":s" command to hugs to set
an argument list as you do in say gdb.
