What do you mean by 'it lets you take it'...?

My understanding, based on the ad-hoc statistics generator, is that most
scripts don't use argc/argv, and there are probably whole sites that don't
use it. Still, there's no way to let PHP know it's not necessary for it
to set them up...

It would in this specific case, but I think that if people expect
argv/argc, they expect them to exist and be empty in case of an empty
query.

Any reason not to selectively turn argv/argc off by an INI directive?
