Kent has been proposing a procedure "command-line" which returns a 
"nonempty list of strings representing the command line; first is the 
executable name, remainder are command-line arguments"
(from https://r6rs.scheming.org/node/262#comment-1547, etc.)

...which seemed fine to me.

Base, of course, along with everything else. :-P

More seriously, I'd put in a "script" library, along with the 
environment variable accessing procedures which we haven't defined.  I 
propose get-environment-variable and get-environment, with semantics 
equivalent to lookup-environment-variable and environment->alist from 
(some version of?) Scheme 48.
