@rcombsRidley @ WATCH LYCORECO This is the first time in memory that someone has ever prefaced something with "fun fact" and afterward I was like "oh… that fact is extremely fun" :O

idk how fun this one is, but long ago, in the days of a.out shared libraries, running a program with empty argv (argc==0) did the same thing as ldd. i accidentally ran into this when playing with inetd.conf without understanding why the program name appeared twice (second for argv[0]). a magic environment variable is such an improvement.
