Is std::arguments modifiable? Because one of the main reasons for passing argc
& argv to libraries is to allow them to reorder the arguments and then remove
those that they've already parsed out of the list, so the application doesn't
see them at all.

This feature may not be in the first revision of the API, but there needs to be
a line of sight to having it.
