You should remove the 'const' here, but otherwise the assignment is
correct; ANSI C assures that the strings pointed to by 'argv' are

Wouldn't that affect `arg`? Or is `arg` created before any argument
processing takes place?

'arg' is created before any processing, because it is available to
that processing:

-- t2.lua
print(#arg)


$ LUA_INIT='@t2.lua' lua -l t2 t2.lua b c
   --> 2
   --> 2
   --> 2

Does this mean the result of -l could be tweaked by a LUA_INIT script?
