Well, not quite. We would say "Do not use std::arguments() if you want
Qt's help in command line processing.
Use QCoreApplication::arguments_view(), from which the framework
arguments have already been filtered out of."

And that's fine. Programs using Qt (perhaps indirectly) that want to
get the full cmdline args can do so. Programs that want to get the
non-framework arguments can do so. Qt doesn't need to impose the
framework-argument-filtering on all code. So,
we do *not* _need_ to modify std::arguments() in Qt.
