I'd tend to rather have people stick with char **argv instead of
char *argv[], the issue being that the passing of array types
as arguments is a rare occurance these days generally due to the
confusion it creates due to both the right hand notation of the
array, and the fact that the C just converts it back to a pointer
when used as an argument to a function.
