Manage and propagate argv correctly....
Manage and propagate argv correctly. All Application objects should take argv in their constructor, akin to how the standard signature of C programs is "main(int argc, char *argv)". This makes it possible to initialize them from code with different command-line options (otherwise, they end up directly accessing sys.argv[1:] via argparse).
