Or you could go into "interactive mode": show the help message, as is done
now, and then say "Command: ", read a line, strip, push into sys.argv.
Actually this
could be API-compatible with the dialog suggestion I made earlier. The code
would just try a couple of the dialogs (Win32GetArgv, MacGetArgv,
TkinterGetArgv, StdinGetArgv) until it finds one that can be imported.
