I mean, to some degree I see where you're coming from. PHP extensions can be written in C, so you can drop down to lower level as needed. Hardly different than Python in that regard. PHP is just something I've always just used in a Web serving context, so pre-populated $_GET, $_POST, etc.

I would hope argv and argc at least are passed by default in PHP programs on the command line. New experiment unlocked I guess.
